If I want to go stiffer in the rear (as @dp1 is doing), I'd send them in for a revalve. When I called Ohlins about this, they said it would be $125/corner with a one to two day turnaround.
I`m looking to purchase a set and just have them revalve with the higher spring rate in the rear even before i install them on my car.

one question. does it feel just as comfortable as they were with the 343lb springs, or is it now at that uncomfortable/track smooth surface only setting? i would assume with proper valving, it would still be very comfortable.
