Default h22 bubble suspension promlemm?

whats up i gotta 92 bubble with h series swap and i got a suspension problem. i have tokico gas struts all around with ground controllz whitch come with eibach springs and the springs are the problem. the car bottoms out iam guesing becouse of the front end weight of the motor. i have a limited budget so iwas just going to replace the springs for harder ones. ive been lokin on ebay and i found megan racing springs with 280 front spring rate and 230 back spring rate and compared them to for example tein springs whitch have i think 214 front and 140 back so i dont know what would stop my car from bottoming out. PLEASE help me decide and replace before i gotta get a new oilpan or header
THANKS

thanks for helpin.. i am lookin at like 200 250 max and my struts are good its just that when i hit a bump the springs compress to much and that makes the front end botom out. i can swap just the springs from eibach to lets say megan racing ones whitch are much stiffer or harder and than the ride wouldnt be as smooth maybe but the springs wouldnt compress as much and the frot end wouldnt sink as low. i just dont know whats springs to get and what sprint rate to look for. i dont realy know how lets say 280in the front would ride u know?

Progress Technology H-series swap sport springs.
375lb fronts, 175lb rears. My friend has them on his car along with the KYB adjustable shocks. They don't lower the car as most people tend to prefer, but they are nice. Edit: He also have a roll cage in his car, so with that suspension and the cage, it's a pretty rough ride. I have no idea how rough it would be with just the springs and shocks.
