spring rates??

What is the stock spring rate?

If the number is higher does that mean a stiffer or softer ride?

Thanks

the springs are progressive rate in our cars. progressive springs are soft riding in the middle and get stiffer the more they are compressed. That allows for decent cornering and handling without feeling every single crack in the pavement if the car had just 1 rate springs tuned for a sporty handling
