Unhappy Alignment Suggestions for my Koni/GC Setup?

Hey all... seeing if anyone has any input to give here...

Recently installed a Koni/GC setup... 450 front/500 rear springs

I think the springs I got are a little too stiff to get use out of the adjustable shocks... but perhaps that's only because I'm running street tires. Seems that if I set the shocks to be anything over full-soft that it's just too stiff to do any good at all.

So, I'm running full soft on the Konis and am lowered with about a 1/2" fender gap.

Being that my springs are so stiff, would I be OK sticking with the UK alignment specs? Or should I get less than -2.0 camber in the rear?

Also wondering on the caster -- UK Spec says 6.45deg, but again, being so stiff, would something like 6deg or 5.75deg caster be more appropriate?

Thanks to anyone who can help!
Troy

What size wheels & tires are you running? What things have you done that have added or subtracted weight to the car (subwoofer, single exhaust, etc)?

Stock AP2V1 Wheels with stock 215/245 RE050's

Took out tool box & spare tire... that's it, and will soon have a spugen dual oval exhaust (probably not much weight savings there though)
