I would think that stiffer springs on the front would not help understeer tendencies on the FRS
My biggest fear is going backwards by upgrading to coil overs.!

The same ratio at different overall levels of stiffness won't get you the same overall balance. Different tires or grip levels can change the balance too.
There is to some extent some driver preference but you'll have to spend some time dialing in all of the variables....ride height, alignment, shock settings, swaybars, and spring rates. The 7/7 or 7/8 are popular starting points for springs in STX, but there are plenty of other ways to go too.
