Default Spring Rate '93 GS 300

Anyone know what the stock spring rates are for the GS300 '93 model year. I am looking to go with a coilover system and would like to know where these cars start out. Are they stocks progressive or linear.

I am not upto simply trusting Jic's choice for spring rates.

At the same time who likes the way Jic's VIP system works, how would you rate it in stifness compared to the stock system. Using a scale of 1-10.

What I want is a ride inbetween the stock system and the Jic FLT-A2 system on my Eclipse.

Thanks for the feedback.

I cant find it now but there was a thread on here with weights of the stockers as well as about 99.9 percent of the aftermarket springs and coilover setups

Default Sc300 Spring Rates

Wish I could take a ride in a car with a coilover suspension so I could use the old seat of the pants.

Thanks for the information on the Tein's.

I am looking for a firm but not jarring ride, something that will still handle in the corners.
