    Higher spring stiffness.  If one spring is rated at 300 lb, it will 
require roughly twice the dampening "force" of a 150 lb spring  for the strut 
to control it.  Ask the Bennets who have destructed even Koni Yellows using 
stiff race springs...these cars have nary any "suspension movement" by the 
way.
