Default Springs Replacement

Running Megan Street Coilovers, 10k front 8k rear. I was recommended to replace the rears with 6k springs as it may help in autocrossing. As I can't afford a complete suspension overhaul, what 6k springs are recommended for the rear? Car is an '97

From what I read, 8k = 4448fb/in
6k=336

The closest I could find so far are Summit Rafcings SUM-72-5325.... 325fb/in

Would this work and how would I know if it would physically fit with my coilovers, do I simply need to measure the unsprung length and get a similar size?

Take that money and put it to the side to start saving for better suspension. The sooner you can throw those Megans in a dumpster the better. Or sell them to some stance kid maybe?
