Default Spring Rates

I am in the market for a set of springs, and its hard to find all the info. I figured i would start a thread so we could have all of the spring rates from each manufacturer in one place in the same format
I'd like to be able to compare those of H&R, Swift, Tein, Eibach and any others.

R:89.0 N/mm (9.1 kgf/mm) (508 lbs/in)

Normal Spring Rates (Reverse calculated, Nismo was advertised to have 15% more in Front, 10% more in Rear. May not be exactly accurate but close enough)
F: 68.7 N/mm (7.1 kgf/mm) (392 lbs/in)
R: 77.3 N/mm (7.9 kgf/mm) (441 lbs/in)
