You need to know the mechanical ratio of the suspension before you can make any assumptions or calculations. For example if it was a double wishbone front suspension with the spring half way along the lower wishbone then you would have to square it (divide by 4) to find the actual wheel rate whereas if it was a McPherson strut it would virtually be 100% of the spring rate, same goes for the rear.
