The spring rate (expressed in terms of force/displacement), is basically the amount of force you need to apply to the spring to get it to compress a certain amount. The most popular spring rate for the B14 is somewhere around 300lb/in~350lb/in for the front, and 200lb/in~300lb/in for the rear. If you want a set of good coilovers though, consider Tein BASICs as well. They're non-adjustable but they do have shortened struts and are a bit easier to assemble.

I can't remember what the numbers were exactly. But they're a little under half that of one of the more popular setups: 300/250 F/R
