Default Custom D2 Coilover Spring Rates on 7th Gen

Hi,
I'm trying to decide what custom spring rate to order with a set of D2 Coilovers for my 03 accord v6 6spd coupe. I currently have the HFP setup which is great except for the front wheel gap is still almost stock. It's great for clearing bumps and such, but it could use even .5" more of a drop. I want spring rates that will match the HFP in comfort and performance, while being able to adjust the ride height. Quality and performance is what I saw in the D2 setup, where height won't change spring rate.

Here are the two spring rates I'm considering:
6kg front, 4kg rear
7kg front, 5kg rear

I've ridden in a 6th gen coupe with Tein basics which has 7kg and 4kg, and it's pretty good, except I want mine slightly more comfortable, which is why I'm thinking 6 and 4, but of course both 7th and 6th gen have different weights and weight distributions.

I was hoping someone with some expertise in suspension could help me out!

thanks!

wahts the weight on the 7th gens?

on the 4g and 5gs, i usually load up the custoemrs with 7k/5k, this has pretty neutral handling, adn the ride is on the firm side, but not back breaking stiff.

seeing that urs is a v6, it should be atleast 3300lbs or so, so a 7k/5k, might feel pretty comfy on your car.
