I actually drove Old Tom's claret while I was on my trip and even going over all the bumpy roads around his place, I thought that his setup was not too firm or not streetable at all. His rates were 400 in front and 300 in the rear if I recall correctly. It still had a smooth ride and felt great. I don't get why everyone on here complains about the harshness of lower rates than that even.
