Smile review and a question!!! 12/10k, 10/10k??

so i installed my BC coilovers last weekend after what seemed to be a long wait. either way the people at bc made a mistake with my order of the 12/10k spring rate and sent me the 10/8k well they quickly over nighted me the correct spring rate.(thanks for that) and even let me keep the 10/8 so i now have 2 sets of springs. the coilovers have been great so far. with the camber arms and toe bolts i managed to get the car back into spec today and it feels great. overall the car feels and handles great. we will see how it does at the upcomming autox. anyways. my question is this. i put the coilovers on the day i got them with the 10/8k spring rate. even with the coilovers set to medium stiffness the ride isnt uncomfortable at all. i do solo2 events and a couple track days here and there. my initial thoughts were installing the 12/10k down the road, but now i thought what if i went with 10/10k ? any opinions on how are cars would handle with the same spring rate f/r? or should i just take the front strut off and install the 12k and call it a day? is anyone else running even f/r spring rates?

I have BC's and want to try the 10/10 combo, should take care of some understeer. I do feel a lot of weight transfer and suspension movement with the 8's in the rear. More than i felt was needed.
