Default KYB GR-2 with 8 kg/mm rear spring rate?

I'm looking to sell my Skunk2 adjustable coilovers but my buyer is weary that an 8 kg/mm spring rate in the rear with a KYB GR-2 damper would be too bouncy. I ran the same springs and perches with KYB adjustable AGXs just fine, but I'm not sure of how much damping the GR-2s provide. Anybody with any opinions on the GR-2s, possibly with this setup?

GR-2's are nothing but OEM replacements and will not handle much of anything more than stock spring length and spring rate.

8 kg/mm = 450 lb/in, probably triple the stock Integra or Civic rear spring rate, and will kill those shocks rather quickly.
