Custom Springs Rates for Viggen

I was wondering if anyone has tried getting some custom springs made for the Viggen. I have a 2001 with VRK, Swedish Dynamic springs, SAS swaybar, Koni's, and Falken Azenis tires (Quaife going in soon). The Viggen originally comes with 5% stiffer fronts and 25% stiffer rear springs from a stock 9-3. The Swedish Dynamic springs are 30% stiffer front and back. I am trying to get the car as close to neutral as possible for autocrossing and track days. Abbott will make custom springs and I was wondering if anyone has tried this and has advice on the correct spring rate increase for the rear springs only (the fronts are already stiff enough). I do not want the car to oversteer at high speed since I am not the vehicles only driver (minor oversteer would be ok). Just using the original Viggen formula means that I would need about 50% stiffer rear springs but this does not take into account the much stiffer rear swaybar. Thanks.
