The spring rate is determined by material properties, number of coils, diameter of the coils, diameter of the wire. Some think color makes a giant difference but that is for another post... Moving the beam may cause a slight change in installation height, but the spring rate will remain constant.

+1, I don't agree that the springs are more compressed with the axle beam moved up. The are just compressed at a different angle and the forces acting on them are slightly different. It's the weight of the car that compresses the springs, not the position of the axle beam...
