For notation-
Spring load and spring rates are completely different variables.
The spring rate determines the spring load over a given distance compressed. The load factor is dependent on the total amount of weight the car will see at a given corner. This is an open variable dependent on the static corner load. The Oem specification is listed as the GVWR, the corner load is the axle load divided by 2. If you change to maximum spring load, you change this rating.
