Here is a link to a thread on clubrsx that has a few spring rates. http://forums.clubrsx.com/show...73808
I seems like people are having a hard time finding spring rates for stock though.

There's a thread over at clubrsx. I believe it should be the last post in that thread where someone states the stock spring rates.

Do a search under the title "Spring Rates" over at clubrsx. Late

Edit: Actually, here you go. This was posted by a clubrsx member named Todd:
"Honda factory spring rates.

Front US RSX = 3.6 kgf/m linear
Rear US RSX = 5.8 - 7.4 progressive

Front Type R = 2.8 - 4.6 progressive
Rear Type R = 3.0 - 8.0 progressive"

To convert kg/mm to lb/in just multiply by 56.
