You got it...I think.
The thing you have to be careful of is where your rear coil over is going to located on the swing arm. If it is in the same location as the standard spring then 800lb springs will be fine....pretty firm.....but fine. (just make sure your back teeth are in good...they may rattle themselves loose!)
If the coilover is connected closer to the wheel, the spring rate needs to be less, as the closer to wheel you go, the closer to the "wheel rate" you get. In simple terms....the closer to the wheel, the lower the spring rate.
The reason the other guys might have thought you were a little crazy was, the are probably talking wheel rates....you need to confirm this with them, as 800lb wheel rates are not crazy...they are for the clinicaly insane (ie. have all teeth removed professionally prior to them falling out from the vibrations though the car!)
BTW...I'll be in your neighbourhood tomorrow......coming over to visit you guys for a few weeks.
