Well, the Motivational Konis are pretty soft as far as performance shocks
go. Just by switching to AGXs you'll notice more firmness and response.
I can say that 350/250 will definitely firm up the ride, but it really
shouldn't be that bad for a daily driver. I run 380/300 on the street on
race Koni struts, and my back is just fine! :^)
I can't comment on if those rates are good for drag racing or not,
though... They work well for autox is all I know....
