Need Prodrive spring rates..

My buddy had a set of prodrive springs on his 02 wrx and i really liked them. I am trying to find a set with about the same spring rates for my focus. Can you guys help me? Im just looking for the numbers. Also what are the stock wrx spring rates? Thanks!

I am trying to get ones made for my car with the spring rates as close to the prodrives as possible.

every car is different. just because your buddys wrx rides nice on those rates doesnt mean youre will. if prodrive makes springs for your car, im sure it should work with your setup just as great.

Don't compare spring rates between two different chassis and expect to get the same results. There are a number of factors that create huge differences, such as the pivot point-to-spring distance (suspension leverage), weight of the car, suspension travel, etc. Hondas will use springs that are hundreds of pounds greater than many other cars due to their suspension designs.

Use a set of springs from a SVT Focus. I had one for a few years and they are very nice!
