2003 RSX-S spring rates?

Can anyone find the stock spring rates for a 2003 RSX Type S? The reason being is that I am very torn between the Tein Basic coilover and the Tanabe Sustec coilover system for my car. Obviously, it is a matter of choosing between more performace (basic's) or more comfort (tanabe's). I'm wondering just how stiff the Tein's are in comparison to the Tanabe's. I know each of their respective spring rates, so I want to try and compare them to something I'm familiar with. I tried over at clubrsx.com, and got nothing....help me out acurazine!

FYI
Tanabe Sustec - 447F/224R
TEIN Basic and SS - 559F/336R

tanabe will be more comfortable without a doubt, they only use 8k spring rates front and back but nothing will ever be exactly like a stock ride. You have to determine whether you want good ride quality more or stiffer ride for better cornering abilities

Spring rates are different for differently weigted cars. So I don't think it'd be a direct compare between an RSX with X springrate and TSX with X springrate
