What are the spring rates on these coils? Can't find them on the KW website or vendor websites.

KW coilovers Variant's 1,2&3
twintube construction,
V1=non adjustable dampning,
V2=adjustable rebound damping,
V3=separate adjustability for compression damping AND rebound damping .
Spring rates Front 485lbs to 525Lbs Rear: 240Lbs to 548Lbs

Notice the extreamly high spread between initial and final rates in the rear. Thankfullly, because of how the rear spring is made it does not bind coils to effect rate change, so no sudden rate change.

Dialing in a system what has seperate rebound and compression is not easy to get set right.
