Anyone know the comparison of pressures between the two different types of springs? If I need a standard spring of 125 seat/350 open for example, would a lighter beehive be the equivalent?? Thanks!

Going on my 5th season on the same springs and they have lost 3 lbs on the seat and 1 over the nose.I run a solid flat tappet cam in the 280 @ .050 range and shift at 7000. Car can run in the 9s.
