I think the reason they list two spring rates for the rear springs is because the twisting force of the drivetrain puts more force on one side of the rear than the other. Im not sure but it makes sense that one spring would be stronger than the other.

They're progressive which means they get stiffer as they compress. Those are what the 2 numbers mean.

And don't forget the rotation of the earth, driver's weight being all on one side, etc....

Actually he's kind of right, but most drag racers will use an airbag to preload the pass side spring to use the torque at launch to plant that tire harder on launch.
