Default Ground control Coilovers rates , need some input

What springs is everyone using and along with what struts is the best setup . 95 hatch with gsr swap . I have , from what i have researched :

front 200.64.58 = 330lbs

Rear 180.64.44 = 246 lbs

WIth agx struts , now even on the softest setting with 2 finger gap on the wheels , rides like total *** and pulling out is so jerky in this thing .

I bought these from ebay about 2 years ago and only have less than 500 miles probably on them . Are my rates right? Are my struts blown ?
Tell me something to make me feel better here lol

Koni yellows would be best matched with ground controls.

how old are your struts? were you running any other springs/coilovers before you ran the GC's?

your spring rates are VERY soft.
if you find this setup too bumpy, then you need to upgrade your struts.

and what do you mean pulling out is jerky?
sounds like you don't know how to use your clutch, unless you mean you're having a lot of wheel hop.

my spring rates are almost 3x yours, and i have no issues.

Did you use the supplied urethane sleves and o-rings for the install? Did you cut your bumpstop per the instructions?
