For those with the GC coilovers ... what spring rates do you have?

For the fronts I have 700.250.500 (500 lb springs)
For the rears I have 700.250.300 (300 lb springs)

Are the 300 lb rear springs too mushy? I'll be using the KYB struts ... would that not compensate if the springs are too soft?

Tkx!

Are those the AGX struts from KYB? If not, then they might be too softly damped to handle the front AND rear springs. Not sure of the stock spring rates on a 5th gen though but that sounds pretty stiff overall.
