Typically (for our suspension) the sweet spot for the front spring is anywhere between 300-400# front springs (even for taking the car to the track or autocross).

Not saying that your set-up is wrong, but it may be worth trying if have the opportunity
Agreed 100% with this. My 450 fronts might be 50# too stiff on my setup as I get slight pitching even with the heavy 800# rears. The front ends on our cars have a narrow sweet spot, IME.
