question on springs

I have a late model race car I am converting to road racing.

I have the front shocks off.
when I shake the front end both sides feel the same as in the spring stiffness.

when I add drivers weight to the car, the passenger side feels "softer"

I am at the front of the car pushing down on it so I can feel both sides at the same time,
I have 850 springs on it. I have a 900 spring. what do you think of me putting the 900 on the passengers side.

I checked the control arm movements with nothing attached. both lowers are fine.
the drivers side upper is a "tad" stiffer than the passengers side. but that doesn't explain both sides feeling the same with no driver weight in it.
