World Raid uprated spring?

Uprated spring.
Looking for an uprated spring for my World Raid. Rally Raid dont do them, pity as they have a nice chart to choose spring rate according to weight. I have emailed K-Tech and they advised for my weight of 85-90 Kg WITH gear, i was to choose the 70 nm spring uprated spring. Bizarre, as on the Standard T7 id be at 80-85nm (with luggage etc).
Could somebody advise please what Spring rate did they uprate to for a similar weight on their World Raid?

The WR is a bit heavier, but I don't think this should justify a harder spring. Furthermore, it has more suspension travel. I'd rather go for the same rate or maybe even one step lighter than on the standard T7.

 

Racetech.com don't list the WR yet, their spring rates recommendations are on the stiff side usually.

You might check Tractive, they do offer a complete set of WR suspension components. I'm sure they'll also sell "just" springs.
