Two things to consider: The kits used in their photographs are for a fiberglass speedster kit which is considerably lighter. Their shock mounting points are changed and thus the leverage ratio is likely different then our (typically) stock mounting points.
With stock shock mounts a 300lb spring will have the suspension sink to 1/2" off the bumpstops with just a body & transmission. No glass, no motor. 550lbs rides well, slightly stiffer then stock, and still requires preload to adjust the ride height with a complete car.
