is the difference that big? qa1 front springs 275 and 300 rates??

i have eibach drag springs now and love them but i bought qa1 shocks and springs and got the spring rate of 300 up front and now after i bought them some say say i should have went 275 ...my question is is the difference really worth it to send them back and have to wait on the 275s? if the 300s are like the eibachs i have now i think i will be fine..does anyone know if the qa1 300s are softer or stiffer than the eibach drag spring they rate theres as a dual rate first 200 then 371 what ever that means. so really the main question is the 275s noticeably different than the 300s?

It has been recommended to me by several people to not put a 275 on a stock weight car, or a car driven on the street. If you hit a good pot hole, you could blow a shock out. I run the 300 lb with no issues. I have never ran the 275, so I can not reallly help ya there.

If ya got a hard leaving car then the 300+ are the way to go. Ya don't want anything but the TA helping the front end up.
