Default coil-over shocks and 9 inch or 11 inch brakes

Hi,
Going to try again. It seems my thread didn"t go thru.Starting to build my ride and i have a couple of questions. My frame is set-up for stock mustang with stut rods. I am going to use tubular upper and lower control arms with coil-overs. My question? How is the proper spring rate figured for the coil? I am going with a 289 or 302, probable 289 as i like that engine. Second question? Pros and cons on 11 inch over 9 inch front brake. Would i notice a great difference, or would i be better off putting the extra money toward other up-grade. Car to be used as street car, occasional track touring, auto-cross and drivers schools.
Thanks Bill
