Instead of dropping the rear rate, you should go up on the front rate.
250 is REALLY soft.
I know that 250 sounds high, compared to the stock number, but if you stop and think that whenever a shorter 250 is used on a -standard length- strut, that the car is the bumpstop very often, so the actual rate you feel is HIGHER than 250.

Agreed, my 250# springs feel great on the track with konis on stiff (and I could ask for something stiffer at those times) but I drive the car daily as well, and every day I wish I had softer springs even with konis on full soft.

Decided to go with 250F/400R springs (225F/225R effective rates) on the GC coil-overs, double adjustable at the front. Again, this is with MO30 and without t-bars. Tire choice/size not decided yet, but they will be mounted on my 17in Fikse LM5's 8F/9R.
Thanks for all the help and I will post feedback when it's all together.
