Yes its to give enough bump travel on the soft rates.

Yes, 40N/mm & 30N/mm stiffness. There are markings on them, based on pictures of the old kit there should be a "/40" on one pair and a "/30" on the other pair.

Ohlins puts the 30N spring on the rear, you can actually see the part number on the diagrams in the Ohlins instructions.

Overall, 15 percent stiffer in front and 3 percent stiffer out back from the '17 rates. I cannot recall anyone in the track tests saying that it didn't ride well or that there was excessive body roll.
As you say don't judge a coilover from spring rates only, although 3K rears are soft for track use anyway, even Ohlins suggest for such use 5K F/R springs in their site.
On the other hand factory pink STI springs that the tS Bilsteins come with are 5K front 4K rears and if I am not wrong latest tS version from Sachs use same springs only dampers have changed:

3kg/mm is softer than the OEM spring on the first year cars.

I agree that's why I mention it, probably they want to make it tale friendly and more rear stable while the 4K F springs give better nose response but little understeer, if you visit their page they suggest 5K springs F-R for track use.
