Spring Question about stiffness in pounds

I'm wondering how stiff in pounds the front and rear springs for our cars is in their stock form. I'm going to adjust my suspension to eliminate understeer so anything about them would be helpful.

Going to do a 200lb diff between the front and diff, our cars are currently set up with stiffer in the front and softer in the rear and I'm going to reverse that to eliminate understeer. That's why I want to know how stiff the springs are so I can well, have oversteer since it's easier to control in the corners.

Well, hope to balance out my car better... understeer sucks.

I also want to keep stock height so if anyone can direct me to a seller with stiffer stock height springs (custom even) I'll rep ya.

Or anyone have a good setup in pounds for the fr/rr? I do a lot of corner carving and want something that reacts predictably under load.

I felt that the stock rear is stiffer than the stock front though.

anyone actually know how stiff they are in lbs? That's what I really need to know. Or can anyone recommend a safe setup for our cars when it comes to daily driving and the occasionally hard driven windy road?

They're progressive springs, they don't register a constant rate. Best anyone's been able to come up with is 1-- in the front and 3-- in the rear.
Pick a set of lowering springs.
