Spring rate is the measurement for how stiff your springs are. The stiffer the spring, the less body roll in corners, which means better handling (you can take corners faster without feeling the body keeling over to one side). However, often times the stiffer the spring also equals a rougher ride, because it's doesn't move as much vertically as stock springs would to absorb impacts felt on the road. Shocks/struts play a bigger role at absorbing this road impact, but the springs also contribute.
Although I don't know what stock MX-6 spring's spring rate is, I'm guessing it's slighty less than the PGT stock spring rate listed.
So depending on what you're going more towards, either more performance or a more comfortable ride, then the list of spring rates should help you pick something suitable to your taste.
