Not if you back off the damping some.

700lb isnt unheard of on track cars!

I would leave the springs as they are and reduce the dampening. It costs nothing and once you have the right setting you will find it will feel alot nicer. If however you find the rear is too soft you can then think about buying some harder springs.

Try GAZ themselves, they are about the cheapest I have seen for springs.
