Road springs
Silly question this but just to clear any doubt in my mind, I have fitted the 300lb rating springs to the rear and the lighter 200lb springs to the
front on my MK Indy-Blade that is right isn't it.

I doubt it!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Yes, if you like going sideways 
300lb springs are very heavy for the rear of that car, even with 2 passengers on board. You must remember that the damper connects directly to the top
of the rear upright, so no suspension leverage to factor in.
I expect that 200lb would be much better suited to the rear of the car. The front rate depends on which kit you have, but on the standard Indy I think
225lb gives a nice balance for a BEC.
This was based on calculations only, but I'm certain they will work well.

If I remember correctly the 300lb go on the front and the 200lb go on the back, this
is how the racing set up is described.

Spring rates
On mine the shocks move 50mm for 84mm of ride height change to the harder springs are need on the front due to this leverage.
