The fronts seem a little soft (perhaps needing to go up to a 325 or even a 350lb spring), so you might need to start on the mid-settings of everything on the front and see how it drives. I think the rear could be too hard, but I have not got my Grp N manual here to check what spring rates usually come with those dampers. You want something along the lines of 150-170lb, where I think you might be possibly over 200 .

Have you driven the car? Can you not describe how it feels? Does it feel stiff at the rear and soft on the front?
