[QUOTE="reldla1996, post: 13657770, member: 138883"] MM has an excellent tech article on coil over spring rates. Basically 150-175 front coil overs provides the same wheel spring rate as the factory 600 springs. Anything higher than 175 will improve handling at the expense of increased ride harshness. Of course the front and rear spring rates should be increased together (or sway bars adjusted) to maintain neutral handling. On the rear springs, the rates are much closer together for coil overs versus factory, I don't remember the percentages but they are within 20-25 percent of each other (I only went with coil overs in the front).
