Spring Rebound Rates

I'm interested in finding out the spring rates for all of the springs available for the max. I'll start first:

Tein H 179 lbs front ; 286 lbs rear

Tein S 201 lbs front ; 268 lbs rear

Eibach and H&R are progressive(?) spring rates. None of those companies list the spring rates.

I'm not sure what you mean by progressive.

The spring rate varies. I can't really explain, I think someone else should step in and explain.

I just called H&R, they told me that they do not have a lbs/in rating on their springs, but they are 25-30% stiffer than stock.

Anyone know the stock rates?
