The Front are: GC200.64.58 --> your sprint rate is 330lbs/inch
The rear are : GC180.64.44 --> your spring rate is 250lbs/inch

by number its
20kg front
18 kg rear
but as for my experience that is not correct
you better ask again your dealer for better/precise details of thier product.
That is in tha same category of some N1 coilover that use in race only
usually ground control combi with koni is around
9 kg front
7 kg rear
there should be a better explanation for that

yes...my mistake. sorry ... edited post.
my lancer has 325lbs /front , 300lbs/ rear similar to your 330lbs/inch front , 250lbs/inch rear . it is common spring rate for street !!
are you happy with it ? or you like to be stiffer ? do you have problem with the daily drive ?

the setup to me is Perfect ....
even though i havent yet tried it at any Autox event....
iv been driving it on Hard for sometime now, and it is real hard. iv driven it on Soft as well and it drives perfect.
ill just adjust it as toleg taught me too....
i Have no prob on daily driving. i dont think i need a stiffer ride, this is just right. but i would know only after a good Event which im planning on joining with u guys soon....
Kenny.... How does this Spring rate perform with u? as u have the same Spring rate ?

my 325front and 300 rear was good for the my old engine , with the new engine which weight more and make more power , it os slighty soft now.compare to yours 330lbs/front ,250lbs/rear , 50lbs different in the rear , i guess mine should be stiffer. the reason why i order higher rear spring rate in the lancer , because of lancer don't have a stiff sway bar like civic(cusco 24mm).to cue the FF classic understeer, i can only sacrifice comfort to stiffer the rear end !!
i am happy with the car on street tire now , i think it is too soft running R compond tire.
there is a lot of thing need to keep in mind when you choose the proper spring rate of your car . power , weight , rim size and most important the tire cause more traction also mean more body roll !!
sample like albertho has 1000lbs front , and 800lbs rear in the ek , toleg and many HCP also running very high spring rate , because they are intent to run with slick tire .

well i just got the mail from horsepower freaks after a while, as they had to phone up Ground control n find out the right spring rate .... they said
The front springs on your kit are 8” tall, 340lb/in. The rear springs are 7” tall, 250lb/in.
so thnx kenny, albertho .....
