Coilover question?

When I got STANCE for my FD, they were a brand new company (OR just started making stuff for the FD) and they only had the one type of coilover, and they came with 12/12. I had them put 12/10 springs on there. I really wanted something like 10/8 but I was told that you can only safely use 2kg + or - what the strut is valved for without messing it up. That's what the company told me anyway. I would have loved to have them revalve them for 10/8, but I was getting them for a deal in order to test them and report results since they were brand new, and they wouldn't revalve them for me. I've still thought about getting Swift springs in 10/8 and trying it. 12/10 is a little stiff for some streets, but it handles like it's on rails! One time I went around a 90* corner (on the street) with my Dad in the car without even slowing down and we were both amazed that it had almost no roll whatsoever. I have RB sway bars front and rear too though.
