IMO those sound like they're a little too low... -1"F/-.5"R would be more ideal, but certainly won't look as good. I don't remember the stock rates, so I can't give you an opinion on them... if they're not more than 10-15% stiffer, I'd say you're in the green.

nKoan, what's the drop and % rate increase on your LGT? I'd say your car is just a little too stiff for the stock struts... so that might be a bit of a baseline to compare against, even though you've got different dampers and rear-geometry.
