Default Spring rates of stock springs?

topic says it all. Anyone know what the stock springrate is for the stock springs?

What difference in spring rate for cutting 1 coil to 1.5 coils off the stock springs? Too bouncy? Drive like ***?

I am thinking about this in combo with the SLP eibachs and 1LE swaybar (front)

thanks,
Chris

I believe stock is 290. I think the 1LE springs are 360. If you cut the springs then the spring rate will go up. By how much, I don't know, you'd have to do the calculation.

I was told they would go up about 10% to ~319

Cheers,
