    Can there be too much spring for a strut built up this way, or is that a wayward concern?

    You're asking about the physical capabilities of the strut spring perch or body for lateral loads? Theoretically as long as corrosion isn't severe, you'll be fine with any spring rates on the commercial market. Those struts are designed to absorb full chassis load even when bottomed out. You do have to check the tightness of the bolt when they're new (right Mike?) or even better.... tack weld the bolt and washer in the bottom to make sure that it doesn't move.

    Can your spring overwhelm the rebound valving? Theoretically, yes. I'd Email Koni to ask them what is the maximum linear spring rate their rebound valving on these specific strut inserts can handle.
