The company I orderd through was suggesting 375f/300r and they described that as an aggressive street set-up. I know many of you with CGT's use 300f/250r but am wondering if that same setup will work well with a 4kq for street use. Any input would be great. TIA!

You should be able to run stiffer springs on the 4kq because it is heavier.

So 375f/300r would be a good setup?

Have 375f/325r on coupe now. Great for track use, not so great on street.

Default I know some people run 400 all around on the 4kq, but let 4kq owners chime in...
cuz I haven't driven or riden in one with coilovers.

Very hard ride, especially w/205/45-16's. Our roads in the NW aren't the greatest.

Default i had 300f/350r on my 4kq and it was perfect for the street...
having a stiffer spring rate in the rear will help eliminate understeer. i loved the way it balanced out my car.

Did you have any aftermarket (larger) sway bars?
