Ksport Kontrol Pro Fully Adjustable Coilover Kits provide the ultimate in suspension technology for your street or track car. 36 levels of damping adjustment allow you to fine tune the ride to your handling and comfort needs. The damping adjusts compression and rebound simultaneously for ease of adjustment. Pillow ball top mounts in the front and rear on some applications allow you to maintain vehicle manufacturer suspension geometry design. The pillow ball top mounts also allow you a more direct feel for solid driver response. Where available, camber canbe adjusted via the Pillow-ball Top Mounts, which means no additional Camber Kits are needed.
Most applications utilize an adjustable lower mount, which means you adjust height without losing suspension travel like some other coilover designs do. With the mounts and most pieces of the coilover being designed for 6061 billet aluminum the kit is lightweight, durable, and rust resistant. The steel shock body is electroplated with zinc to resist rust and the elements. The valving of each set is matched to the springs installed for unmatched ride quality and reliability.
The Ksport system uses a Monotube design in which the oil and gas are separated within the cylinder. When compared to twin tube designs the Monotube dissipates heat better, allows finer damping adjustments, and requires more expensive design process. Aeration and cavitation are a lot less common in a Monotube design, which results in a better ride.
The Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilover kit has been designed with professional road racing in mind offering extremely high value and performance.
 
I've had the Circuit Pros (basically the Kontrol Pros with remote reservoirs and separate rebound dampening) on mine for almost two years now without any issues. I put about 10k miles/year on it to since it was my DD, but I had softer-ride 15/16" OEM wheels too.

Just be aware that the spring rates you quoted above will result in a much stiffer ride than OEM. Especially with your 17/18" wheels. Pretty much most coilovers out there have similar spring rates and you probably won't be satisfied with the ride on a DD.

My $0.02 is to just go with new Bilsteins if your old OEM shocks are worn out, and use the OEM springs, but with the spring set on the Bilstein perch to lower it slightly. It's very popular.

No problem.

Yes, the KSports do offer custom valving for a desired spring rate. 345lb/in is better, but if your roads are bad, then it may still be stiff. My recommendation is to go to some local NSX meets and try to get some rides with the various suspension setups. Everybody has varying degrees of what's stiff/soft, loud/quiet, etc.

Good luck!
