I have swift springs (they make custom rates from 4k to 24k) on my coilovers (fortune auto) I went with 7k front and 8k rear for more balanced car. Most people forget to take motion ratios into account when picking spring rates. A 7kg/mm front 7kg/mm rear will be stiffer in the front then the rear on our cars.
The reason I went so stiff is I will be running an aggressive alignment on competition tires. Had I wanted a more DD car I would have gone with a 5k 6k or a 6k 6k spring rate

Edit: yeah to stay on topic any more questions pm me haha!
