It depends on how much performance you want from your dampers. Suspension design is a compromise. At one end you have comfort and at the other end you have performance. Quality dampers dampers allow more performance without a jarring ride but if you are using high rate springs your ride is going to be firm (but not crashy).
I am on 9k/10k springs and I know it. I don't find the ride uncomfortable but it is no limousine.

If you want a good
compromise then you will be paying for it.See this thread

If money was no object I would be putting Penskes on my car.
JRZs, ASTs or Motons are built to order with what ever spring rates you want with matching valving.
After that you might want to consider Ohlins R&T which require extra expense if you want different spring rates because they come off the shelf with only one spring rate.
Lastly are Teins SRCs. They come standard with 10k/12k springs but there is slight variation in spring rates available providing the rates fall within the standard valving. They are well regarded by the people who have put them on their cars in this forum.
