I'm not sure what the Konis can accommodate as far as lower spring rates. Maybe 450/550 or even a bit lower.

If you want to try and use the GC, I'd give GC a call. Jay (owner) or one of the staff can probably help answer questions and let you know what can/cannot be done.

If you're looking at other options search Fortune here on the forum. There are some nice setups there with digressive pistons yet street oriented.

What do you mean by Koni's? I may be misunderstanding your response, I have GC coilovers on with 525/650 spring rates and find it too stiff/bone rattling so I'm considering all other options. Would OEM shocks with lowering springs (like H&R) ride a little "softer"?
Ian nailed it.

My idea was to see if you could just swap out for lower spring rates but keep the rest of the GC coils. GC would know what the Koni valving could accommodate. This should be cheaper than other options and certainly better than (potentially tired) stock dampers plus lowering springs.
