Default crx wheel rate question

I was curious whether anyone who has spent the time to measure the suspension pickup points on an 88-91 CRX would be willing to share with me what the actual wheel rate of the front and rear suspension is. Thank you to anyone who can save me the time of taking all of the measurements myself.

i took these measurements off a 93 civic coupe. the suspensions are very similar and i took rather crude measurements just to get an idea. front motion ratio is 46%, rear is 55%. 1000lb front springs would net a wheel rate of 460lbs. (just to clarify, i've seen others list it the other way) hope this helps. my next measurements will be to calculate the front and rear sway bar spring rates.
