Does anyone know the "real" spring rate on H&R springs? Yes, I looked in the FAQ and it says 2.0/2.5. However, I called H&R and they said they do not publish their spring rates, only that they are "20%-30% stiffer than stock springs". This would make them 2.2/2.2 or 2.3/2.3.

I'm particularly intrested in comparing them with the Tein spring rates. In the FAQ Teins are listed at 3.7/3.2 but Tein only lists MAX spring rate, since they are progressive (so are the H&R's). How should these two springs be compared to each other since the given numbers aren't for the same attribute?

Basically, if the above questions can't be answered, what is the "seat of the pants" evaluation between the H&R's and Teins? Which ones are stiffer by feel?

*Thanks for the struts/springs Grungy, they feel great.

Yea, I have AGX/H&R. If the Teins are harder, I'll get those, if they're softer, I'll keep my AGX.
