Does anyone out there speak Assembly Line Japanese? :D

I just bought a set of used springs advertised as Integra Type-R. So much for the obvious part. What I want to know it, what's the spring rate?

All four springs are coated Black, with painted on markings (Build codes, eh?) to differentiate them painted on the coils. Two are painted <FONT COLOR="Purple">Purple</FONT> , <FONT COLOR="skyblue">Blue</FONT>, <FONT COLOR="Gray">Grey</FONT> and two are painted <FONT COLOR="Purple">Purple</FONT>, <FONT COLOR="limegreen">Green</FONT>, <FONT COLOR="skyblue">Blue</FONT>. I've forgotten which markings were on the fronts and which were on the back.

Can someone decode these for me? I'm mainly looking for the spring rates, but other information revealed by the markings would be appreciated!

front = 4.4kg
rear = 2.4~4.4kg

 

What's that in Lbs/inch?

00ps my bad my calculations were slightly off

4.4 ~ 245.96lb/in
2.2 ~ 122.98

Out of curiosity... Anyone know the spring rates for Integra GS and GSR?

Hi Yoshi, can you please tell me why the rear is 2.4~4.4 kg. Thanks

 

The rear has a progressive rate spring.

 

Rear is progressive (THink the fonts might be too) THey strat at 2.2kg/mm and become stiffer the more they are compressed.

 

The fronts shoudl be straight linear...since they don't have any dead coils usually seen on progressive springs sets....
