Default GC c/o's with Bilstein shocks...ok?

How would this setup be? I know that Bilsteins are fairly sturdy shocks but can they handle the GC coilovers? I was thinking of spring rates around 350F / 425R. You get to do custom rates on the GC's, right?

Right now I have Neuspeed sports on Bilsteinson my 1989CRX. I just don't like the drop on the Sports. I want to even it out up front, and drop it a bit more out back.

I have a lot of learning to do about suspension tuning and all that stuff so help me out guys! Thanks.

I have maxspeeds with bilsteins 350 f 450 r they seem to work just fine the only thing is the rear shock tube is huge and i had to hone out the sleeve to get it to slide over and at the lowest setting it only gave me a drop of about 1.75"-2.00" because of the perch set up on the bilsteins in the future im gonna get konis because they dont have that problem

from what I've been reading the Bilstein SP's can handle much higher rates than the konis .... they can handle up to ~600-800 rates
