I have an EK and a set of coilovers. my spring rates are 8K front and 10k rear. it rides kindda hard. Is that too much for an street car? it handles really good

I had Tein HAs with those same rates, although I think fronts were 10k, on my eg. I couldn't stand the ride, way too stiff for me. I ended up selling them. I wouldn't go more than half that for a street car. But that's just me.
And to convert rates:

It really depends where you live and where you drive. In Dallas my Eibach Road Race springs do just fine, but if I'm going to austin I be sure to take the hybrid with it's stock suspension.

i wouldn't admit that...
I have JIC FLTa2 with rates of 10k/7k and it's pretty streetable in my opinion
I was even thinking of going a little stiffer

8k and 10k are certainly streetable but as said above it depends on where you live. I'm currently just on lowering springs and I was in Richmond this past weekend, it was pissing me off.

Re: spring rates? (trbcivic)
Yeah depending on how shitty your roads are it can get annoying. Luckily my city is repaving a lot of the roads and highway so its not too bad if you know where to stay away from.
