Because they've changed so much, we just always specify exactly what we want.

I would like to run some aggressive 200TW or less tires (RE71r/A052) on these and I want to make sure the 5/5k spring rates will support that while the car still functions as a daily driver with the occasional track day.

I would also like to know if the valving on these dampers support 6k/6k or 7k/7k spring rates or would that be really pushing them beyond their intended use?
With those tires I would recommend stiffer rates than 5k/5k but they'll still work well. The dampers will easily support 6k/6k. They'll support 7k/7k fine but that might be close to their limit.

Just remember their shift to more of the road side of the road&track equation. Totally fine for occasional track days. Great coilovers, just a little less flexible than they could be in certain ways.
