I've been running fortune 500 coilovers for a while now, with stiffer springs and no issues (14k/12k) iirc.

It's a combination of spring and valving. The oem set up has to use a stronger spring then a true style because of the leverage of the oem set up. If you use the same spring rate on a true style as the oem. You're over sprung.
