Default Another spring rate question

If the shock is matched to the spring, the ride shouldnt be to bad?? Lets say I run 800lbs on the streets, but with a matched shock, Will it be streetable for daily driving (Of course it will be stiffer than stock, but will going over bumps be really harsh?)

In this light of a car? Yes. You'll feel it in a big way.

I had 600/650 in my S4, but that car is tons heavier.

Stiff is stiff.. you can't get around it.. shocks will eliminate "bouncy".

I have GC 650f/750r with custom valved Konis and I drive my Prelude to and from track events. It is harsh but we have pretty decent roads here so it is livable. I also have a full cage and a gutted interior so as you might guess I am somewhat a masochist.
