Ok, so I'm researching coilovers for my converted gt4. I was looking for suggestions on spring rates. I'm leaning toward BC Coilovers and they offer many spring rates, stock are somewhere around 8k front and 5k rear. Car won't be built specifically for the track but I do want to lower it quite a bit and still handle well. Should I go for a stiffer than stock setup?

As far as damping, what's the difference between stiffer springs and a stiffer damper?

I also remember reading about people using stiffer springs in the back, I don't remember if this was on RWD cars sprcifically but I'm wondering if the same principal applies to AWD.
