Default A little input needed

I have the Tanabe sustec pro Type II full coilover, in the front of my car spring rating 6k, to the back I have Takiko blue shock with drop zone springs.

I what to change the drop zones.

This is what I am thinking about doing.
Take the spring from the Tanbe 6k and put it in the back and get a pair of buddy club springs for the front 8k.

So at the end I would have a Tanabe (KYB) shock and body club springs 8k and tokio blue shock and Tanbe spring 6k.

It’s only a pair of buddy club springs I can get.

Some input would be helpful.

what's your reason for changing your current setting?, what are the sping rates of the drop zones?

No spring is 'bouncy' unless the damper is not strong enough to control it. Don't blame the spring for bounciness, it's not the spring's fault, any other spring of the same rate will do the same with the same damper.
