Question Can the stock G35C shocks handle 450lb/in Linear springs

Can the stock shocks for the G35C (my shocks have about 26K on them) handle a 450lb/in linear spring? The reason why I am asking is because I am looking for a slight handling improvement until I can decide on what coilover system to get. I am planning on getting a Ground Control coilover sleeve kit (with 400lb/in springs in the front and 450lb/in in the rear). I will keep the car at the stock height and I will have the setup cornerweighted and aligned at a shop.


Will the 400F/450R setup make the car feel underdamped (I hate the floaty, underdamped feeling)? Am I wasting my time


Thanks!

GC coilover sleeves are gay. If you're on a budget, just go with a The Tokico D-specs w/the springs it comes with. Stock height and adjustability...

I don't think the stock '03 shocks will be able to handle the 400/450 spring rate adequately. I'm pretty sure you will get that underdampned/floaty feeling.
