I just got confirmation on the second set of springs we tested. The first set was a Premium model with the rates posted above by the OP. The second set of BRZ springs was from a Limited model and we just tested them this morning and it has the exact same rates as posted and the Premium model. These were both production models from local BRZ owners. We never bothered rate testing the pre-production models we used months ago because we knew the rates would most likely change on the production run. |

Prokit is 1" front and rear, part # 82105.140
Sportline is 1.4" front and rear, part # 4.10582 I don't have the rates for either. They are also working on some other stuff as well, but I'll let Tony post that info once it's available.

I wonder where the discreprency between RCE's measured rates and Eibach's measured rates come from.

Most likely, pre-production suspension setup that was changed last minute before production began. I imagine it still had the JDM suspension setups while they were ironing out the USDM setups.

That's seems to be the case. Interesting either way. The shock dyno was done a production set of dampers which is the important part and we did more of our testing on the production car.

Possible pre-production vs production?

That's what we're guessing. Shock dyno was done on production version though (thankfully).

I'm curious about maybe different rates for different countries. Did Eibach USA test their own or was this info passed down from Germany?

The ones RCE tested with was a pre-prod car but I would guess they'd still have the OEM springs from Miles car.
