Default 5th Gen: Custom rate springs on DD

So I made the mistake of getting some Ground Control coilovers with the standard spring rates. They're pretty soft which results in more body roll than desired. I'm thinking about selling these and getting some customs directly from GC. So I'm just curious what rates are you guys running on your DD cars? You don't have to be running GCs to give an answer. Some of the more common combos I've seen are 380F/450R and 400F/450R. Is that high for a daily driver on shitty roads?

Im running d2's which are 672f/336r (12k/6k). I know some will say thats too stiff for a daily, but its not bad because the rear is soft enough.

im getting d2 coilovers that have a setting of 840f/504r. i know a few people that have em and say they are a little rough but not unbearable, and def worth it since the car is so stiff. it also has top hat adjusters.
