You sure about that? The hot setup is supposed to be 90q front springs on
the front, and 4kq front springs moved to the back. Intuitively, front
springs should be stiffer, due to their supporting almost 60% of the weight
when the car isn't even moving. Throw in weight transfer under braking and
cornering and that percentage goes even higher.
Unfortunately, this mod raises the car. Not what was being sought in the
original post. Hmm thread creep happening again!
This has been discussed before. Check the archives.
Cheers,

My suggestion would be to get an extra set of rear springs and put them on
the front. The rear springs are stiffer (larger wire diameter) and shorter
free length so will lower the front end significantly and provide stiffer
spring rate. Stiffer front springs will make for increased oversteer
handeling, should be matched to a addition of a sway bar in rear to obtain
more neutral handeling.
