Default H22 EG with ITR sway bars, what is a good auto-x spring?

After searching through the other posts i found in the archives, ive got a question about the sway bars. I got front and rear Type-R sway bars because i figured that the the rear will definitely help out understeer, and the front would add a more balanced feel to it. So now im trying to figure out what rate of springs to go with. I was reading that you want a stiffer rate for the back because of understeer, but with the swaybar, wouldn't a lower rate be a bit better? I dont wnat the back to get away from me under hard cornering, and i dont want to plow straight through. I have eibach porkit right now with stock itr shocks, and its definitely not cutting it. I am considering using Tokico Whites becaust they are one of the only shocks i could find for a reasonabl price. I'm looking at G/C, but really cant figure out the rates.
I know im running on and most likely not making sense, but its late, and i need to try to figure this crap out. Any help is great, and yes, BTW i did search

Pick something and go with it.... 300f/400r seems to go over well.

You'll change rates alot as you change the car and improve as a driver as well. The springs are cheap, especially if you pick 'em up used.

Strong Baaaaad!

anyways, do the springs actually have the rate engrave or stamped on or something? I am looking to go with ground control C/O... also should i take the front swaybar out so that the rear plays a bigger part or possibly put on a smaller front bar like an LS?

You can try the different sized swaybars.... there's no perfect setup, its all trial and error

The springs will be marked with #'s - http://www.norcalcrx.org/tyson/coilover.html
