Default Requesting higher spring rates/valving adjustment when buying TEIN SS's?

Hey guys, I am getting readdy to purchase a set of TEIN SS's for my 1990 Integra GS and was wondering if I can request custom spring rates and to have the valving adjusted. TEIN's site says that the recommended spring rates are 500lbs/250lbs. I will be looking to go with 550lbs/350lbs because from what I hear the recommended rates are a little soft. If anyone feels that these spring rates are not what I am looking for let me know PLEASE. I am looking for as much input as possible about this setup. Will they also adjust the valving for the higher spring rates?
Thanks guys!
BTW: I also posted this in the Integra section but couldn't forget how to delete it, sorry!

Just talked to a guy at TEIN and he said that 11kg/9kg would work fine and all I would need is to get the rears revalved. This should elimate the softness that the 9kg/5kg recommended setup has.....correct? How do you guys feel about these rates?
Thanks!

why wouldn't you get a better damper set up from tein if your going to change the rates?
