I'm running 465 lbs/in QA1 coilovers in front (Mustang II front end). Rear coil springs (not coilovers) are 300 lbs/in (I believe) with QA1 adjustable shocks. The rear springs are vertical, while the fronts are on an angle - that affects spring rate. Keep in mind this is on a ~3,000 lb West Coast Cobra with an iron-headed 460 CID engine and a 96" wheelbase.
As to motor mount location I'll only say our cars are too different, but I'd say shove it as far back as you reasonably can.
