Traxxion has a chart of total weight vs spring rate but it is not much different to any best guess. Penske has a good chart of rear spring rates.

Offhand I think chart recommends #525 for rear.

That springing seems a bit firm for you, but pretty balanced front and rear. If it is not giving you particular traction problems or breaking your back then I'd be tempted to play with the valving with springs as they are.
