The firmness that you're experiencing could be cause by coil bind, shock bottoming out, etc.

just to ad gas to the fire. i think 350 is too light and agree with Rod that you then need to adjust the compression way up to have the car not bottom out.
ok so were all in agreement! how does this help you? give me a call when your ready and I will help you on pricing also, with honest, along with no bull**** just real advice

what springs are you running on the rear? lets get you with the right rear spring before you install what you have...you can exchange them before installation!
