Front drag spring alternatives?

Does anybody know if any other (any make/model) car out there with a lighter front end than a thirdgen happens to use the same dimension springs?


I'm looking for "Drag spring" alternatives for the front end and V6 springs are still a tad heavy, moroso's drag springs are 220lb/in so something roughly in the ~300 area should work

Anywho just seeing if anybody knows of any cheap options

Thanks

Also...


"The stock 3rd gen front coil spring rates are around 350lbs/in for base cars, and around 548 lbs/in for IROC-Z /WS6 cars"
If this information is correct a v6 spring would be 350~ ?

300 was down from 350 (v6) and up from 220 (moroso, too extreme for my car)

seeing if anything might exist in the same height and width as a thirdgen but even lighter rates than a v6.
