I went with rates drew suggested for normal daily driver. 500 in front. 250 in back. I'm not a street racer and i was more comfort minded so I think these will be good.

Those will feel great. I regret going for the max of 600F 450R sometimes, I want to ride in an SC with your setup to feel the difference.

No, it's just stiff, like you would expect. Not necessarily bad. I just wish I could try other spring rates.
