500 lbs/inch is only a bit firmer than mine, which are 465 lbs/inch. I find them firm, but not too stiff. The difference is your car will 'settle' a bit less when weight is on the springs. Regardless, the 18 step adjustment of the QA1 shocks should allow you to dial in how firm you want the ride to be. Mine are normally 4 clicks from softest, but they're installed so I can easily firm them up.
My car had Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks on the rear when I got it. Not only were they too soft, they weren't adjustable. I took advice of QA1 tech support and put adjustable shocks (not coilovers) on there. Big improvement.
Edit: I believe mine are the 8" springs - they just ride lower on the shock body than yours will.
