On the Megan coilovers the spring rates are too harsh for the streets I'm thinking of upgrading to swift can anyone recommend a certain spring rate for front and rear?

Megan Street Series apparently use springs with the same dimensions as Swift springs' coilover springs which is kinda cool. As long as they're the same length I'd be down to doing the swap if I needed it.

@OP: definitely get 6kg/4kg springs. The older megan coils were 10kg/8kg iirc, and the valving code for the shock absorbers is the same for both new and old, so I guess they simply reduced the spring rates on the newer versions because of them being too stiff for the shocks to handle.

K-sport and D2 use 7.5kg front and I believe 4kg rear as well. If you're going to be adding a heavier engine like a 3SGTE or turbocharging your current one, I'd go for the 7.5kg. Otherwise, go 6kg.
