Figure out what you current spring rate equates to at the wheel- i.e. the wheel rate.
If you like how the car rides now, you want to maintain that wheel rate. If you want it stiffer, you want a higher wheel rate.
The geometry of the suspension comes into play when calculating wheel rate. So, depending on where the spring is- it acts differently on the wheel.
You need to go to corner-carvers.com and do some searching on “wheel rate”.
