The spring rates are in kg/mm. It is the last two digits on the parts number. to convert to lb/in, multiply by 55.88. The Integra Kit comes with 8/10 springs, the civic kit comes with 6/8 springs.

I know all this b/c I got the integra kit for my Del Sol. NOT recommended for street driving. (447 F/ 558R)

By my calculations:
6 kg/mm = 338 in/lbs
8 kg/mm = 451 in/lbs
10 kg/mm = 564 in/lbs
18 kg/mm = 1015 in/lbs

Thank you for contacting the Helpdesk at Skunk2 Racing. Im sorry to inform you that we do not have that part, as its a discontinued part. Your best bet is to maybe bind a set on ebay or something. Again we are sorry

We hope this helps and if you have any more questions regarding Skunk2 products or policy please let us know.

This is really not the place to be requesting random Accord parts for what I'm guessing is your street car. You can try posting in the Accord forum for that, but I'd suggest instead you look for a different brand/option. Omnipower makes sleeves, as does Ground Control. I wouldn't limit yourself to Skunk2, as its not like they're all that special or great anyway.
