I would guess that it is more shock than spring related. If you start to drop rates you might end up with a car that wallows a bit and bottoms out over dips in the highway. I've upped rates 100-150 lbs all around on my DSE suspension, and upgraded shocks. It rides better than with softer springs and the original non adjustable Koni/Afco shocks.
My first suggestion would be to gas up the rear shocks in case the rear is getting rattled around over bumps, without much shock control.
If that doesn't fix things, you may want to swap shocks. Trust me, in the long run you will have less headaches. My Afcos always leaked down and the verishocks seem to blow seals, and, in my opinion, they don't ride amazingly well, either. Please don't take this as an agressive sales pitch, or attempt, (I have a small fortune worth of JRi shocks and work with JJ all the time) but the fastest way to get your car driving down the road with the ride you are looking for would be to call RideTech up and get a set of their shocks. Their Ride Quality and Handling Quality series of shocks (hope I got those names right) flat out work the way they should. The cars I've driven with them ride so well I don't even think about the suspension. The ride is smooth, solid and pretty composed without clunking over bumps.
Bret/Rod please don't ever let that end up as a testimonial on your website, accompanied by that picture of my car under the Fox awning at Laguna Seca. I will get in trouble.
