I could be wrong and don't claim to be a suspension expert, but I'm not sure you can directly compare spring rates like that? The shocks don't move straight up and down, so the coilovers presumably won't move as many inches per inch of suspension travel as the leaf spring would.

That said, I didn't realize there was that big a difference between the '90s and later cars in terms of spring rates?
