Thankfully, they let you choose your own spring rates. IMO, the 400/700 is a good rate for giving your suspension a bit more sportiness but keeping a fair amount of comfort for daily driving on normal streets. Keep in mind that the RT won't go too low.
I went down the Ohlins route and went with the M2 rear springs, rather than the ones officially spec'ed for the M4. I love the ride and my goal was not to go low, but rather to have the best ride combination of performance and comfort. It is also wife approved.
