Im using stock HSD springs rate..But added 8 clicks for stifness at front 9 at rear.
What spring rate will work similarly to my current setup without usings coilover stifness?

8k 6k
I run 8k/6k on my Fortune Auto's on my daily, and its very smooth, no complaints. Great performance as well.
I run 9k/7k on my Fortune Auto's on my track car. Little rougher for street, but not to bad at all. Great track performance.

It's personal preference, but I can tell you the big name FD guys are running lower spring rates all around for a reason.

Really depends on what your doing with the car (but im guessing your talking about drifting your car) and how much power your putting down.
With more power you want lower spring rates so you can have more grip.
If your running a simple naka go ahead opt for a stiffer spring rate, you can always change spring rates out in the future when you build your motor or something.

Well idk much about drag racing but I would assume that you would want softer spring rates for that to hence for more grip
