scott what do you think about the rates?? im not too sure about the 12/5 setup. i know that yes they are out farther making the effective rate higher, but 12 / 5 just seems so far off. what do you think of the 11/ 6 rate? or what about like a 11 / 7 or 12 / 7??
Your correct about the need to explore how the rear springs being run on the rear dampners leverages more spring to the wheel.

With the rear springs being run on the dampners, they are going to leverage 100% of their power to the wheel vs just 36% for a spring being run in the inboard oem location. Meaning that a 12/5 setup is the same as running a 12/14 on a regular setup (rear springs in the oem location). Since the dampners can do +or- variances in rate of 2Kg one could step the rear's down to 4kg. A 12/4 setup would be the same as a 12/11.2 setup. One could adapt an Eibach ESS spring for the rear to tone down the rear rate bias further, to say 12/3.5 for a 12/10 equivalent.

I have found the actual wheel rates to be about 330 lbs different (at 5K) between the OEM location and the true coilover outboard location. Because not quite 100% of the outboard spring location is "at the wheel" so to speak and there is a different angle on the spring there. For instance, if the Stance out-board located spring (true coilover) is a 5, then it should be equivalent to a 830 lb, rated spring in the conventional OEM location. I have tested this, and these wheel rates were pretty accurate.
