One other comment is that the 8k springs installed at the front require about 0.5" of preload to get the correct amount of droop compression travel. The thread pitch on the damper body is 2 mm per rotation. Try starting with 6.5 rotations for the front to get 0.5" of preload. 10k at the rear requires 2 mm preload for correct compression travel, so one rotation of the preload spring.

Your choice. 8k springs will produce a slightly smoother ride, but of course will allow a bit more lean and loss of tire contact patch. Almost always tradeoffs.
http://performanceshock.com/ can handle it. I would just give them a call. Cost would depend on what (if any) parts are needed.
Quick question, I just had my Ohlins installed but having issues with rear toe adjustability. I see Godspeed makes a kit or I can grind things out. Looking for a bolt on solution, no grinding if at all possible. Am I missing a simple answer?
What do you mean by grind things out? What sort of issues were you having adjusting toe? Unable to makes adjustments at all or just unable to get it to where you want it to end up?
What are you trying to get to on Toe and camber? The rear shouldnt need too much beyond what the factory gives unless you are going to the extremes on something. Too much low and not enough camber will give you more toe in. Solution, add camber or raise car.
I assume the above scenario is what you're struggling with.
