H&R vs. Tein Spring Rates?

[Lamski]

So I am looking into springs for my new 2011 SE I4. I have narrowed it down to:

Tein (Camry) Drop = 1.6"F 1.5"R Spring Rate = 168F 174R
Tein (Solara) Drop = 2.0"F 1.9"R Spring Rate = 207F 174R
H&R (Camry) Drop = 1.4"F 1.3"R Spring Rate = ???

My question is does anyone know the spring rates for the H&R's?

Am I correct to assume since the Tein Solara front springs are stiffer then the Tein Camry springs the ride on the Solara springs will be harsher? Or is there more involved then just spring rate?

And how is the ride in comparrison between the Camry Tein and the Camry H&R's?

I'm riding on 235/45-18's

Did a quick google search and found this for the H&R sports...I'm not sure of the accurateness

179 lbs\in Front, 145 lbs\in Rear

Looks like the higher the number, the more stiffer it is.

Anyone know the stock spring rate? LE and SE?

I am curious on the stock spring rates also, good info for those that want a "close to stock" ride on aftermarket springs.

The Tein Solara Spring rate is probably good for people on SE 4 cylinders. Not good for people on LE struts or V6s (heavier)

They all use progressive rates, so they're still be comfortable and close to stock.

Just FYI, I tried calling H&R today. They said they do not disclose the spring rates on the sport spring line. She said they are a happy medium between performance and ride comfort made to be used with your stock struts. Too bad... I really wanted to know for sure what the rates were.

so the solara springs wont work with an LE? im trying to get a spring that will drop my car the lowest. So far the lowest drop is the solara one but ive been reading posts of it saying that it doesnt work with LE and only SE. Why is that?
