Two things:

First: Even 700 pounds in the rear might be a bit much. You might be better off going with lower rates maybe 500/550. Intgr8rs MCS rate differential only shows 50 pounds between the front and the rear.

Second: What sways are you running and what are the settings? Need to know what those are before we start looking at spring rates only.

Great stuff by Rick F.

My experience is that heel toeing on the track is completely different than on the street. That's due to how deep you are in to the brakes, and the generally higher rev you're trying to hit with the match compared to street driving, which means trying to give more throttle then you're probably used to as well. If you drive the Z a lot on the street, you build habits that work real well for heel toeing on public roads. But that doesn't help you much on the track, in fact it actually hurts you, since your habits of been ingrained for the street. All that adds up to simply a need for more track time!

Thanks haha...its from a lot of gokart when I was younger.
Anyway, so I have stock sway bars. I dont plan to get aftermarket sway bar ever....I dont really like them....it makes the car feel more nimble, but I think it always compromise grip.

I only drove the z4 maybe 4 times since I bought it....I dont drive it much...and when I drive on streets, I dont do heel n toe.
With the e92 my heel n toe was much better.....not perfect, but much better....I will have to practice more....I am still learning the potential of the car and limits
