With certain other factors assumed you do want you wheel rates to follow your corner weight or weight distribution. The numbers you have listed are of course your spring rates. Bias your wheel rates slightly forward to help prevent snap oversteer.

So you do not run wheel rates at the corner weights. That would be big time over kill. You may run spring rates at the corner weights but that would just be coincidence since the spring rate is basically irrelevant unless you are compairing two identical cars. Wheel rates in say the 175-200 setting are firm for street use. Up to 250 for track. But of course this is a big 'depends'.

Frequency might be a better way to determine a starting point on spring rate. And of course this will change for every track. 80-100 CPM for a firmer sports car and 100-125 CPM for a racing car without wings or ground effects.

Basically I would set it up with the softest springs possible so long as it kept the thing off the ground and established the basic balance of the car. This keep tire compliance high. Then use bars to keep the camber curves under control. Do a little math and come up with a front and rear bar size after you come up with a base line spring rate and make your rear bar adjustable. Don't make tiny changes in spring rates. About 50 pound steps is about right.

Shocks to tune the rest.

Hope this helps.
