Why not rather order 4Nm springs as replacement parts, and run it 4/4 if going down this road at all? That way the front won't be messed up.
Should be maximum £200, probably less if the prices are anything like KW. If they ask "why?", just say you accidentally scratched the front springs and want to replace them.

I wouldn't worry so much so much about the valving, I'm sure it would be okay with the change.
I would prefer 4/4 rates though with the front MacStrut. I would also rather the standard 4/3 with a set of adjustable swaybars to 3/4.
Yes, the stock setup is rear biased but it is very bumpstop active, even in cornering, so spring rates aren't the whole story.
We generally go with even rates when the overall rates are soft. When they're on the stiffer end we sometimes go with stiffer rears. The front suspension behaves differently than the rear.
Just my thoughts....
