You should weigh the car front and rear to get a weight distribution measurement before modding the suspension. If possible, get the current spring rates and the original f/r distribution and then try to keep the spring rate matched to the weight at each end (based on how the stock car was set up). Failing to do something along these lines could result in a car with pretty strange, and maybe unsafe, at the limit handling.
