Default Ideal springrate for EG hybrid

I just did a swap GSR into my 92 hatch. I was wondering with the extra weight, what's the best set up for lowering spring. 350 front, 500 back? And what kind of brand do you recomended. Thank you

usually you want higher spring weight upfront as this where the weight is. as you most likly know civic/integras are 60/40% as far as balance therefore the springs can be matched in the same way to achive fairly good handling

high rear spring rate may lead to unwanted oversteer in some setups and can be dangerous on streets.

F400-R300lbs/in is the usual or F10-R8kg/mm
