What do you mean by custom rates? What type of shocks are you putting these on? Stock, Moton's, Penske's, KW's?
I have Koni's, coil over adjustable height and rebound.
I need higher rates for the rear. I'm calculating what I really want in terms of the rate. I think 1100# will be too stiff and the one's I had on my 2000 will be to soft with the aero on the car.

Are you looking for 2.25" or 2.5" springs and what length? 800# 2.25" on the shelf.
Needs to fit over a standard ACR shock so I think 2.5". I had some that were slightly to small, I'd guess they were 2.25". I gave them back to Dan.
My set up on the 2000 was 500F, 750R which worked real well from Dave. I'm thinking 800 or 900 for the rear and maybe 600-650 on the front....
Right now I suspect I'm close to riding on the bump stops at speed.

I would not go that high in the front or it may have a push you can't tune around. It is hard to say what you really need in the rear without knowing the actual down force the wing produces. My best guess for you would be 900's and maybe 550's for the front.

If what you have is that big heavy Autoform OReca style wing, you probably need 1100 in the back, I had one of those on my GTS and when I was on the highway at 80 MPH I could see that my 2 inch tire gap was down to nothing when I looked at the my cars reflection in cars driving along side of me.
You have Gen 2 Konis.....Which Konis?
-The 1999-2000.5 ACR Konis? Sounds like THESE
--The 1996.5-2002 Non ACR OE Konis?
---The MoPar Perf SCCA T1 Konis? Could be THESE
The answers to the above, coupled with your driving venues, aero, and tires will dictate best spring rates. As far as best deal? Fair price, coupled with good, solid Viper advice? I bet a couple of your club vendors would be worth a look ...... even if they might be $10 higher or so than flea-bayers who KNOW NOTHING and certainly not that there are multiple Konis on Vipers !
