I'm going to try to find the data for the OEM sport suspension and post it.

I'm definitely interested in purchasing a swabar set for the ride.
what's the conversion to lbs/in on those rates? what is "N" ??

You are very welcome

N/mm = Newtons per mm

1 N/m (force)= 0.0057 lbs/in (force)

46 N /(10^-3)m = x / (1)m,

x= 46000 N/m = 262.2 lb/in

OEM

Front (262.2 lb/in) Rear (290.7 lb/in)

F sport

Front Progressive (267.9 lb/in - 376.2lb/in)

Rear Progressive (228 lb/in - 399.7 lb/in)

do you guys think that the 1.5% power increase for the f-sport exhaust would be the same for the Lexus HKS Dual Sport exhaust ... since they are very similar?

If you have not watched the suspension video...watch. Maybe its because I don't have the HKS exhaust or any aftermarket exhaust for that matter, but I love the sound!(I guess some people have said that it is a little too loud :s) Too bad they don't show some WOT action.

I need to convince someone locally to pick up the F-Sport exhaust so I can compare to my Sport Package HKS exhaust. Sounds pretty mean in the video.
