Default spring rates for a DD B18 swap EG

looking for a bit of help, currently have an EG with a B18C-R motor, running some wierd JDM adjustable shock/ matched spring combo with stock 19/14mm sways. Its pretty stiff , but still rolls a fair bit, and skips quite badly on mid corner bumps, especially now the shocks are tired and i have upped the damping

Roads over here are pretty bad, so i am after decent bump performance as i do 70m a day on freeways, but still want great handling, and i want the adjustability of coilovers for both setup and so i can do trackdays, so looking at the softer spring, stiffer sways and damping approach. I am planning on getting D2 coilovers with stiffer ITR spec F/R antiroll bars (on ) any ideas, i have had suggested.

7/4, 9/6, 8/6, and people on here seem to run the stiffer rear setup, more 6/8 but i am a little unsure if i want to run this, as i dont fancy the lose rear, and currently the car is pretty neutral with good turn in, want to keep it that way

Anyone running this?

think i will go for 8/6 initially, but any opinions would be appreciated

I'm trying to up grade, but i'm running groundcontrol coilovers w/KYB AGX Struts. Si Front sway, Type R rear sway bar w/Beaks setup. Si front control arms and SRR rear control arms. It works really goood. I can get a good slip-angle with turns and for fun* stupid crazy trail brake drifts. haha....
