Smile Front Coil Springs????

HELP!!!!
HOW DO I CALCULATE THE SPRING RATE FOR THE FRONT END OF MY COBRA? I HAVE MUSTANG SHOCKS AND SPRINGS. THE TAG ON THE SPRING SAYS IT IS A 175 LBS. BUT THE RIDE IS VERY STIFF! BAD SHOCKS? SHOCKS TOO SHORT? SPRINGS TOO STIFF?

THE CAR WEIGHTS 2400 LBS WITH 1160 LBS. ON THE FRONT END. I HAVE A CHART THAT SAYS IF I HAVE 1150 TO 1250 LBS ON THE WHEELS, I NEED A SPRING RATED 125 LBS PER INCH. NEED INFO ON THIS!
