That said, I didn't realize there was that big a difference between the '90s and later cars in terms of spring rates?

I'm not a suspension expert either but if you look at the suspension chart in the ZR1NetRegistry you can see where the 1991 ZO7 suspension has almost twice the spring rate of the 1996 GS suspension.
If anybody has driving a GS you know it has a nice ride,not as harsh as the early ZR-1's.
Since i don't auto-X or RR i would rather have the comfortable ride then a harsh bumby ride.
