That sucks... Since your shocks are still new and never been installed, You can probablly sell them and buy KYB shocks. (too bad KYB is like the only good shocks available for B14) Why Tokico shocks are bad? I heard a few other people told me same thing but never told me why.
About the spring rates... Mike is probablly right about it. But it's depends on how you drive your car or the road conditions... Like me, here in Salt Lake City, road condition is way worse than avarage. So I kindda need to keep the suspension nice'n soft. But if you will be autoXing your car... This set up will be a little too soft. But overall, even those aftermarket springs will increase the handling. So, it's really up to your driving style.
Don't give up... We'll figure this out..
