FTO spring rates

Seeking information on standard FTO spring rate stiffness and ride height - especially when utilised in CE Mirage.

I'm seeking something a little stiffer than stock but not too low as I use my car also as a weekend gravel autocross car/club car and need a bit of compliance, but don't want it too wollowy on the road. (FTO swaybars are on my shopping list).

I note the springs aren't interchangeable between struts (different diameter spring seats) but the whole units interchanges.

Standard is 2.6kg/mm front & 1.6kg/mm rears
 
I'll have a geez at the bible when I can. Not sure if it's in there though but could be.
 
2.6kgs/mm is 145lbs/inch

1.6kgs/mm is 90lbs/inch

Most old rwd Datsuns, Corollas etc run around 175lb springs for rally in front struts, so sounds like a viable option
