No need to get new glasses. It's not worth quoting spring rates from another car...they are not directly comparable without knowing the motion ratio. Then you can look at wheel rates.

From a quick google search, the motion ratio for S2ks are around 0.7 front and 0.67 rear.

16 * 0.7^2 = 7.84
18 * 0.7^2 = 8.82

So that's not that bad at all.

What kind of tires do you run?

Very stiff rates on lower grip street tires will not make you faster and will make the car hard to drive.
