eg:. 2k spring rate, 20kg yield 10mm.
10mm is huge for Sport sedan, sport car, tuned car

Even a light weight Miata runs 4k - 8k spring rate 
*
First gen 86 BRZ is only 2k+ spring rates, all 4 front and rear both brands.

Second gen only increased few hundred grams per mm to just barely hitting 3k spring rates on the dot.

Stock Miata any gen are typically even softer sprung.

All these cars generally have no spring preload either, giving an even softer perception.

You can literally air gun removal of the strut mounts without any spring clamps and no one would get hurt at all.

twintube with external high pressure gas chamber (shock body is 100% fluild no gas), like Ohlins TTX or selected KW Competition.
*
TTX are generally lower gas pressured compared to DFV exactly because of the twin tube nature

And yet they are the "real Ohlins" and their flagship car product.
