Here are some spring rates I collected a few years ago when I was shopping for shocks and springs.
If the table doesn't display on the list legibly, send me an email off-list and I'll send you PDF.
200 350 Ariston or Telecar OEM STOCK Telecar – non-rebuildable
Ariston – Koni internals; rebuildable; Pat Mical can rebuild and convert to adj coilover
400 650 Aldan Eagle Scott Couchman Pre-L
450 650 Koni Mike Daily Pre-L
450 550 QA1 or Eagle Brent Stewart Pre-L ; Have needed rebuild several times within a year.
400 500 Jack DeRyke Pre-L
400 500 Tony
350 600 Bob Fluty
450 550 Koni Larry Finch Pre-L
550 750 Bob Benson Pre-L
400 650 Aldan AS-755R Dave Bell Pre-L ; Installed 6 or 7 years ago. The ride height is set with the arms more or less horizontal. The compression and rebound were adjusted for track conditions years ago and I have left them alone since. The shocks have probably 20k miles and at least 5 or 6 fairly brutal track weekends on them. The car corners flat and is very responsive on the track, but still has a comfortable though firm street ride. No leaks, no problems. I recommend them.

375 550 Chuck Engles 1
425 600 Chuck Engles 2
425 600 Unknown
