I find that hard to believe; my 351W SPF had 375# fronts and 375# rears, and they were stiff for the car. Weighed 2540#.
My current FRP460 SPF has 450 fronts and progressive rate 225/475# rears, 2750 lbs. Weights are with 3/4 tank and 160# driver.

The coil spring rates are usually stamped on the spring, either on top of the first coil (you'll have to take them apart), or screen-printed onto the side.

The 600# springs are way too big for that car IMHO.
Please let us know what you find out.
