Since they don't publish spring rates all I can say is: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Love the look, and love the lower centre of gravity for handling, gotta be a bit more careful with potholes (etc.) than before.

However they've exposed an issue in the struts where now they are leaking, and knocking, and need to be replaced. Basically at this stage I am weighing up cost of getting some new/used struts to replace the existing ones, vs. moving to coilovers.

If you can find a nice low mileage take offs then its worth it. If not get a of Bilstein dampers unless you really need camber or adjustability. Tien Flex A's is what I would get for a solid cheap coilover.

Whiteline Springs deliver improved vehicle performance whilst maintaining safety and ride quality characteristics. This kit contains 3.0kg/mm (168lb/in) front rated springs that provide a 25mm drop while the 4.1kg/mm (229lb/in) rated rears deliver a desirable 25mm to the vehicle.

Copied from the whiteline site.
