For a given spring rate, I think there is only one correct damper setting. Making the dampers softer or harder would both make the car less comfortable. The variable sport suspension can not change the spring rate.
Exactly.

The regular M-sport should have been the default suspension. I don't understand why anybody would want a softer setup in a sporty car, or drive in "Normal" with the adaptive running gear

Even if the M-sport works surprisingly well despite it's softness, I still miss a firmer setup. I can live with it tho
