Ohlins are nearly 100% custom coils. You can prolly get any spring rate you heart desires. If you can find some markings on the spring (or maybe the damper itself), they might be able to tell ya.

whered he buy them from?

also...ask him how much he payed, and some more info about them...

my guess would be if youre looking at megans you wouldnt be able to afford the same, if he got real new ohlins, but if he just got dampers for sleeve overs or used ones or something then that may be a different story

No, i know the ohlins are definately not in my price range, i was just wondering about spring rates becuase i cant decide if i should suck it up and get Megan tracks or just get streets. The ohlins were given to him, so we don't know basically anything about them. i just like how they ride on the street, because they are stiff, but not too harsh to handle everday.

just dont get megans period and youll be better off, his ohlins have much better dampening, so megans with the same rates would feel nothing like his would

save a little while longer and get nicer coilovers, youll be glad you did

What nismofly said. Megans and ride quality do not go hand in hand.
