First, they're all application specific (or they should be). Second, probably only half of them actually advertise their rates beyond a rough "30% stiffer" blanket statement. Third, many use a progressive rate in the rear, which complicates things. And fourth, some manufacturers view their spring rates as proprietary, and won't disclose the information.

So best of luck . . . . . Even on stock springs, I've never found a source that wasn't contradicted somewhere else.
