Default Pic selects: figuring out spring rates. Opinions

So I've been reading a lot about spring rates in order to get ready to order them. And it seems i've narrowed it down to 12kf/10kr or 10kf/12kr. It's pretty much a autocrosd car and getting into tracking it. Barely driven unless it's a nice summer day.

What I'm trying to figure out before I order is what setup will compliment my sway bars better. I have a 26mm front sway with a 22mm rear. Keep in mind I want a lil oversteer, just not crazy amounts to where Im sliding my rear end everywhere I go.

Def. not gonna be like that.
I had a 10k/8k setup and it turned in so well. I love stiffer in the front because I usually like hard braking, but at the same time fairly stiff in the rear for good turn in. Let us know what you go with.
