What spring rate to use with a V8 when lowering

Hi all

looking to lower an 84 GSLSE with a 351 Windsor motor.
Any idea what spring rate should be used?

I can only assume that with the extra weight up front I should be increasing the front rates more than the rear.

I'm picking the car up tonight and the owner couldn't tell me a whole lot about what was done so I'm flying blind.

Here is a pic of how she sits now

Probably get better responses in the v8 section of the forum.
