FOUND.

tein said the fronts were typically 2kg but depends on the part number on the spring.
No.

Per the Tein website.

Spring rates are 7kg/mm Front and 3kg/mm Rear. You might want to turn the dampening level up to help with the stiffer ride.

BOO YA I knew it! Haha there's no way stock ones could be hittin at your heighth, even with it stupid-low lol

Btw, tein springs are $120? I found out recently that Fortun Auto sells custom spring rate spring for $100 per corner, and their spring rates go up to 15k. I plan on going this route as well with my SS's in the future

Do the Teins not use 2.5" springs?If so,you can buy Eibach springs for around $80 a pair in any length and weight you want.They're not as JDM,but they're much cheaper,the best quality,and the rates are actually measured in the system Americans use.....Loss of tyte points though.

Lmao I definitley wouldn't get them then since they're not jdm :P

That's a killer deal then. And for the record, I didn't get my tein ss's because their jdm, I got them because they were barely used for $550. Not bad, specially for $1,200 new

& The JDM'ness is just a bonus :P
