So, here is my question. What happens if you have different wheel rates front to rear? Like, what would happen in the above example if the rear spring was only 700 lbs/in and the front was still 500 lbs/in.

That extreme example would be the rsx chassis the rear motion ration was about .5 I had an ep3 same dimensional chassis and it was not an ideal Motion ratio
Well "worse" handling would happen....Remember the stiffer end loses traction first...Without taking other items into account if you were to run a lesser spring rear with a FWD car you sould encounter understeer
