Smaller Springs for more Drop?

Hey guys, so I've been running BC Racing coilovers for awhile. I have two collars removed, they are as low as I can get them.

Unfortunately, this is as far as I can get my front wheelgap down. I have plenty of room, and want to get it another inch or so lower.



Paired with LCA in the rear, I can match the fronts, no problem.

My only question is, I hear people talking about Swift Springs, and going much harder spring rates. I'm thinking of doing 16-20k, but I've heard that stiffer spring rates = larger springs. Would I be wrong to think that putting stiffer Swift Springs on my BC Racing Coilovers would in turn make my ride height higher?

Thanks guys, still kinda new to all this!

What do you mean "larger" ? Look here:

And figure out what you need using this:
