I'm looking at about 475 in the front and about 550 lbs/in in thre rear. That is about 2.5 times stiffer than the stock Si springs. The beauty of this suspenion is you can get what you want. I have also had Tein SS that has a spring rate of 340/390 F/R and those were only rough on the biggest bumps and worst roads. I now have Tein Flex and those have 500/560 F/R. Those are rough over moderate roads but ok on most city streets. The bigger the gap front to rear you have (the rear being stiffer) the more oversteer your car will have.
