Default 450f/ 350-400r on gc/konis?

What do you guys think? Will this be street driveable? I dont want to lose traction, but I want a firm ride. Car is an 00 si. 450 front and 400 to 350 (cant decide) rear on gc/konis.

I have 600's on the rear.. and it's a bit stiff for the street.

I would imagine that 300-400 would be much more friendly to your GF's *****

niice...... Im really looking forward to driving my setup now =D

Btw... do you have tophats with that drop? And hows the understeer with the 400s in the back? Reason I ask is because I got same length springs around so I could try 400f/450r if theres too much understeer.

Yes...I have the GC upper mounts in the front.
The car is very neutral with the 450F/400R and 22mm rear sway bar.
I also have 7in springs front and back so if I did feel I wanted to switch...there would be no problem.
