Were your Teins bought from Fulcrum in QLD or were they purchased overseas? Teins purchased from Fulcrum were modified (lighter springs & revalving) for Australian conditions, whereas JDM Teins have heavier springs. You can get lighter springs from Wholesale Suspension, a forum sponsor, however you might still find your Teins require revalving depending on how much comfort you want - of course for some people it's better buying the Aust spec Teins in the first place, as springs & revalving already purchased JDM Teins isn't cheap. Alternatively, pickup a set of 2nd hand factory dampers & springs to replace Teins until you move away from the inner burbs:

Your suggestion of 5kg front & rear spring rate as a good combination (depending on individual requirements) in place the 6kg front & 5kg rear is an very interesting option for $205 a pair of springs (inclding GST) plus, in my case, $20 shipping.
