Tire size / pressure, shock valving and swaybar size will effect how various spring rates will perform. Both Prokit and the Sportlines are:
Front: 400lb
Rear: 80-137lb
I wouldn't even consider Sportlines on a street car let alone any type of competetive driving. On paper the G2's have a front rate closer to what a lot of AX guys like, the rears are a too high IMO, with an ulimate rate of 230lb. You may be able to dial some of that out with a big swaybar up front.
With all spring rates, stock rates included shock valving is critical. IMO you have two options when using springs with rates high than stock, Koni's or Bilstein HD's that have been revalved to match spring and driving style.
