I do believe its 120lbs/in Front (progressive), and 70lbs/in rear (linear).

What aftermarket spring rate would you guys recommend, given that it will be paired with stock shocks.

My plans for the car are a safe daily driver which I can take to Auto-X once or twice a season.

I am more concerned about what will happen to my rebounds with the stock shocks on aftermarket springs.

Whats the difference in what?

I really really recommend Stock ITR springs. If I remember correctly they are around 240 lbs in the front and progressive 190-260'ish in the rear. Once again the exact figures are not correct just off the top of my head. They should do the job for you.

Very comfortable, but I wanted less body roll so I went with some Omnipowers.

Progressive, get stiffer the more they compress. Linear, stay the same the more they compress.

I'm currently riding on integra springs and struts (from a GS-R). I don't know about the ride height since these came with the car when I bought it.
