I just fitted some hsd coilovers, and they have 7kg front and 4kg rear, To me they feel a more of a softer ride compared to the standard sti suspension

so at a guess, i would say a 4 or 5kg spring maybe?

I believe there should be a code on the old springs if you can get access to them.

I think the default rates as supplied from new were 6F 5R.
