Default 88-91 oem spring rate?

Anyone know the spring rate for 88-91 hatch/crx? I've found on the web DA/DC/EG/EK but no listings for the hatch/crx.

I called up eibach once, and talked to a tech. He was more than willing to tell me spring rates for all of their products, and I'd be willing to bet they would have the stock rates.

There is also some mention in the RR/AC forum FAQ.

Damn,I figured the springs on my hatch would be a lower rate than an integra.Looking on the web,I found different listings for integras,here is the different numbers I found,dunno which ones are right as different forums listed different rates.

Front Rear
ITR. 247L 150-247P
GSR/DC. 263L 143L
GSR/DC. 212L 147L
GSR/DC. 242L 173L
DA 212L 117L

I dont know if any of these are correct.Now,I have laying around a set of 93 Integra LS,98 Integra GSR,98 Civic 4-door.
I know the spring diameter /Coil diameter/Number of coils determin the spring rate,the 98 civic is 1" longer than the 93 ls,and the 98 GSR is 1" longer than the 98 civic.All 3 are the same number of coils.I got a set of the struts with adj spring perches,,,not coilovers,but 3 positions for the spring perch,middle one is stock height,,so,I was gonna go ahead and use the set with the highest spring rate so I'll be set when the LS motor goes in.Is the 88-91 civic oem rate really that high?

Are they integra struts? Cause keep in mind that the integra struts/shocks are about 1.5 inches longer that stock civic shocks. I had a guy sell me some shocks and then found out they were integra shocks, when i put them side by side with the stock shocks they were much longer.

They are 92-95,and I got a set of 98 civic 4 door struts from the junkyard for the "forks" to use for the front,thats why I have those springs.I dont really want to lower it,just run the highest spring rate of the springs I have and try to keep it stock height with a B18,thats why I got the struts with the different positions for the perch.Hopefully I'll have time and money to swap it in between spring/summer semester break.Just tryn to get suspension and what not ready now so it'll be less to do then.
