A couple of reasons for this...
1. the rear of the car is typically lighter
2. the rear suspension on most of our cars is a stick axle as opposed to an independent. The IFS multiplies the load on the front spring by approx. double [the exact amount will be calculated via your dimensional input on our spring rate calculator]
If you were to weigh and measure a C5 Corvette for example, you would find the spring rates comparable, or even heavier on the rear because of the rear independent suspension.
