Lastly when the the spring is moved from the OEM position to the true style position my 8k spring will actually act like a 4k OEM positioned spring!
Apparently my memory is crap, thought I had read this some where.... if someone can explain this please do so as I would like to know?

I've never heard the half-the-spring-rate rule of thumb though, so that's beyond me.

I think what you're trying to say that when comparing the location of the spring in the spring bucket to a spring around the damper, the spring in the bucket is at a mechanical disadvantage relative to the spring around the damper due to it being closer to the axis of rotation. A spring in the bucket will have the same leverage as a lower rate spring around the shock.
