Default Spring Rates on the H&R sports for the R?

Hey whats up just had a qucik question , I am picking up a set of the H&R Sports for the R this week and was wondering what the spring rate was...

I ask cause when I called H&R they told me they dont make that INFO public. He did say however that the SPORTS were 30% stiffer and more effective.

So the one place I knew I could get the info was here thanks for the help.

I've called H&R before asking about specific spring rates and they won't release the numbers.

wobbly **** lol. mikestypeR weren't you trying to sell that car? still want my PS? i'm just waiting on the removal kit and then it's on its way.

anyway, i don't see how these companies can be secretive about something like this when people are usually wanting specific spring rates, especially the hardcore racers. them telling me it's secret would turn me off from buying them. even though they're probably a great spring
