you drive on the 900lbs daily? how does it ride? i would say go with 450 or 500......i'm guessing that your talking about the skunk2 setups b/c they're front is 450 and 500 rear on the standard coilover set.

yea 900 daily is something to get used to. not exactly grandma safe. and remember when you were little and your parents said wait 15 minutes until your food settles before you go and play..... that rule still stands when u ride with 900. im leaning towards 500 in the front

What shocks are you running with those rates? If it's just OTS Konis or something they aren't rated to run those types of rates. You're looking at around 400-450 max on most OTS shocks.

OTS (off-the-shelf) Koni yellows are only rated for maxiumum rates of around 400-450. If you're running a 900 rear rate you're going to kill your shock. You can get them revalved but it's around $100 per shock to disassemble and revalve 'em.
I'm getting ready to redo my car's suspension (road course purpose not drag) and I'm looking at going 350 front and 450 rear. I'll probably end up getting my Konis revalved and may get them shortened as well. But back to the topic...running that large a difference ~450 front and 900 rear on a street car, you're begging for the ass to whip around one day.
