I couldn't get on with stripes when I tried. I ran mine on AE big bore springs.
I'd say run a stiffer rear spring than kit for more traction and to stop collapsing, over rotation and grip loss on low traction surfaces.
yes C=n where n is larger, stiffness increases.

As quoted stripes are progressive, dots are linear. Higher the number of dots, stiffer the spring. I have a chart on my home PC that i have converted to lbs.
The bit I have highlighted in bold, i personally wouldn't be running a stiffer rear spring on low traction, I'd be softening the rear spring to stop over rotation, the rear spring on the XRAY by kit is already at 2.28lbs from memory which is firm enough. On low traction like grass or polished floor, i tend to come down to the 1 Dot rear although I am planning to try AE springs on the car soon. Stiffening a car up tends to increase rotation at least from my testing as the car leans less, therefore bites less.
Neal - Not sure if you were running the same AE Gray as Nathan was on the rear of his XRAY but they are ever so softer than XRAY kit springs.
