Went with E-motion springs (stiffer close to .2 RS spec), spring perches, and Tarett control arms/spherical bushings including the RWS on my .1 RS. Had the BBi spring perches (designed to reduce coil bind), but rattled too much so switched to the E-motion ones which were a lot better. Definitely improved front steering feel and you know exactly what the rear is doing. Also if keeping the stock dampers, recommend a re-calibration of the damping settings of PASM (achieved through the DSC controller)...those settings/damper files can make a pretty large difference in the way the suspension behaves and how the car feels. Very well behaved on the street with the right DSC damper file (reminds me need to get a softer street only setting in regular damping mode from Tom Chan!).

I put the .2 RS springs in my .1 GT3, set the stiffness in normal mode to 60-70% dynamically controlled and in Sport mode 80% front and 100% rear with th DSC controller. The car is now razor sharp and neither bouncy nor bone hard.
