KSports Spring Rate Question

Bros, I need your opinions on this one. Finally got around today to installing the KSports that I bought on that first GB that Roger@PTR did. My understanding is that the spring rates for that GB were 13/9 as opposed to the other GBs where it's been 13/7 & before you ask, I've got all four shocks turned to full soft. After installing them, my initial impression is that the front is pretty damn stiff but not horrible but the rears are just flat ass-shattering. It just jumps all over the place--any dip or tar strip just rocks the car. I've talked to Brad at Neverenough Auto about some softer springs but am kind of at a loss as to what to get. I want a ride that's kind of in the middle---smooth ride but retain the good handling.

In Christian's thread, I saw where he originally wanted 10/8 but really got 13/7 which is actually what Brad recommended, just going from a 9 to a 7 on the rears. Given the kind of ride I want, what would you guys recommend? Brad says he can get a 10/8 if I want it but I'm really thinking about an 11/7 setup. I told Brad I'd call him back tomorrow so if ya'll could give me your input today, I'd really appreciate it. BTW, I'm having to get a SPC camber kit as well--with a 2 finger gap, my RF is a -1.9.
