need help with what spring rates to get in order to get front lower

so right now i have on stance coil overs with the helper springs so it would allow me to drop the body of the spring down. now after instal i still am not low enough in the front. was wondering what spring rates i should get in order to get to my desired ride height

YES I KNOW PEOPLE DONT AGREE WITH THIS AND ITS UNSAFE AND STUPID AND WHY WOULD I EVER DO THIS..... IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY TO HELP ME OUT PLEASE DONT BOTHER SAYING ANYTHING THEN.

thank you

I dont think the spring rate will get your car lower. Spring rate just refers to how much force it takes to compress the spring. Therefore a stiffer spring rate will help when you are "hella flush." I could totally be wrong as i come from a "hella functional" stand point and am still learning a lot. So feel free to correct me if im wrong.
