potholes will make you pee blood.

:edit: to put that in a more constructive way: those rates would be fine for the track, but throw in potholes, pavement cracks, gravel, rain, etc. and you're looking at a marginally safe vehicle for transportation use. If you can keep all your driving shenanegans on the track/autox course, go for it, but if you plan to do "canyon runs" or whatever, an unexpected bump in the road could lead to a wadded civic. Those spring rates aren't insane, I have definitely seen higher, but I wouldn't go that high on a car that'll be used for transportation, personally.
