Essentially you'd want to run slightly harder springs I think, yes. How much harder is the million dollar question. You could probably work it out with a few simple calcs that I can't be bothered to do.
However, my theory would only be correct if the spring rate was completely linear. I think part of the reason side springs are cone shaped is to try and achieve a linear rate, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're not perfect.
Any idea is worth testing. I can't say I'll be jumping at the chance to try it though as in my opinion it's highly unlikely to be a game changer.
