Default EG hatch lowering springs on a EG sedan

I'm thinking of buying some hatchback lowering springs and putting them on my sedan. i don't want coilovers but i want to go as low as possible with lowering springs.. and the DX hatchback weighs 2090lbs
my EX sedan weighs 2460 so I'm wondering if I order the hatchback springs if it will in fact lower the car more then sedan lowering springs.. or is it all still the same spring rate?

I've done this and it works alright, but you may have to get creative or you get a little bit of a ghetto cruiser stance(lower in the back). I ended up removing the rubber thing from the oem top hat in the front and just using one of those thin rubber rings that come with the sleeve overs, seemed to level it out about right. If you have a B-series swap the extra weight makes it about even but this will obviously vary by springs and struts you have.

I'm trying to get better hook up on the strip and I want stiffness I'm getting tired of sticking spring rubbers in the back and still having the back squat.
