5604 vs. 5610

I am planning on getting new springs for my car since they are stock. I already know what rear springs I am going to get but I wanted some advice on the front ones. At the moment this car is a daily driver, would you guys recommend stiffer or softer springs.

The Moog 5604's have a 347 spring rate.
The Moog 5610's have a 424 spring rate.

Or if you guys know any other other brand or part # that are better, I'm up for suggestions.

Which one would you prefer, the iroc springs or the the ones with the 424 spring rate?

iroc ones, the others are way to soft

maybe get the matching rears too. The springs will raise the car, so you may have to trim them a little, but they are good springs. Used to have them
