i just checked out the offerings from tein and stance. All the spring rates are WAY above 8/6. most are 12/12 or 10/8. The others from Tein are 14/14 or 20/20 for their track suspensions. That's seems a little ridiculous. Is the only way to get something in a lower range to buy springs, and get dampers revalved?

10/8 is on the higher edge of what Howard said was acceptable/comfortable on the street. Zeals are coin but are noted as quality (Endless brand btw) and they have rates softer than 10/8. A lot of the heavier GT Cars (Supras, etc) enjoy Silk Road coilovers.

You can specify what spring rates you want when you order. Stances usually come with 9/7 rates, I opted for the 8/6 rates instead.

I assume they then revalve the dampers to match?

Typically if you're within +-1 kg (some will say 2) its considered alright to use them as is.
