Coilover Spring Rates

Coilover Spring Rates
Whats up guys, I'm doing suspension mods on my z.
Over the past few weeks I pieced together font and rear camber kits, toe arms, and poly bushings.
Last piece to the puzzle are coilovers.
I decided to go with BC BR coilovers for my 03 z.
I believe these come with 10kg f / 8kg r rates.
However you can get custom rates straight from BC.
Question is, what are the best rates for coilovers?
Car will be daily driven, with occasional track and auto x events.
With stock suspension, the front springs are softer and the rears are stiffer.
Usually most cars come with softer springs in the rear.
So, would it be best to go with even rates front and rear, or softer in front or softer in rear?

You could even go slightly higher in the rear if you run staggered tires to get of understeer.

I have 10k/10k swift springs and it's a little more neutral in the turns and rides great for a daily driver. I might agree I a little higher in the rear to get rid if the stock understeer if you plan to track. You can always add adjustable sway bars to help a little more as well.
