Honestly, you should be ordering your spring rates based on how much downforce your car is going to produce at certain speeds. A bucket type coilover system, the spring is far closer to the hinge, so it needs a lot more spring weight to compensate. Running a true style, without aero, 6k is on the mark based on my research. I might want to bump it up to a 7k to compensate for your aero. Just my 2 cents. It would probably settle down the rear a lot powering out, under braking and on bumpy surfaces or rumble strips.
It sounds dumb, but chassis tuning on Forza, I drop the damper and spring rates a lot to settle rear down and add a bit of toe in. It's not real life, but I'd imagine the logic is the same. Edit: Totally wrote this blind and happy others kind of confirmed my thoughts. I run stock Nismo aero and Swifts. I'm basic lol.
