Harvey.
Harvey, I have about six or seven SVXi running on 400 front, 300 rear coil overs w/Konis, they all ride well and handle great!
My Claret has 450 f/350r and even on these bumpy roads ride well and handle better than I can drive.
By the way, MY setups run with 10" front springs and 12"trear springs, so as not to limit travel.
They also sit about 1" taller than stock,
body roll is not a problem,
getting in and out at 56 could be.
