With DSE suspension front and rear, I would want to be in the ballpark of 600/400 fr to rr, if you are using DSE's standard anti roll bars. I would get a set of 400lb rear springs from Maier, and let that be your first tuning modification. After an autocross day with that setup, then change the front to 600 or 650 if you aren't happy. Sometimes on the DSE subframes more front spring rate or a stiffer front sway bar will help make the car easier feeling to drive, and a bit faster for the driver on an autocross. Those rates will probably still give you something that is relatively easy to drive, which (in my opinion) is a good place to start until you have a ton of seat time.
I assume Ron concurs or you wouldn't have posted this.
