the wheel lifting off the ground is only because the lowering perch is independent from the perch the spring sits on or the preload.
so when its preloaded and lowered, your suspension wont decompress and have your wheel fall... its stays tucked... so you 3 wheel... this happens to me all the time, when i go over speed bumps and up my driveway

both those rates would be what most consider "teeth chattering"
my Supra Tein S-Tech springs are 12kgf/mm and 6.5 kgf/mm
I love em - they handle well, and ride nice and tight, but still retain a comfortable ride... I suppose they could be a little stiffer, but, I'm happy...
