Default Spring rates for front of 2wd Sapphire Cosworth

Anyone know what standard are?

Mine has Koni coilovers with stupidly hard 500 lb / inch on at the moment and I want to get new 2 1/4" springs somewhere in between std and them. 500 lb / in may well be good for a tarmac rally, but they're no bloody good for the road if you want a bit of comfort in between trackdays and nurburgring sessions.

The car is not used everyday, so I am prepared to sacrifice a lot of comfort for better handling, but the rear springs are just your normal shortened, uprated efforts and the handling is not really balanced. After 5 or 6 laps of Hockenheim, the front tyres go off cos the inside edges are getting too hot.

Any recomendations for sensible spring rates?
