Default Spring diameter, height for KW V3, Ohlins, PSS9

Can someone share the diameter, height and spring rate of their KW V3s, Ohlins DFVs and Bilstein PSS9/10s, esp. if they've strayed toward a 650 front / 500 rear lb/in setup please?

I've considered KW setup as it's around 500/500 IIRC, and might have enough damping range to accomodate a 650F / 500R setup. Reason for asking is I have a Moton CS with 2" diameter Hypercoil setup on our dedicated auto-x S2000 for SSM, running 900F and 700R, which is fine for concrete but too much for asphalt (majority of our courses in the area I moved to are asphalt).

If I put a set of dampers and springs on the wife's '07 S2000 for twisties and maybe an STR event 2x/yr, I welcome this forum's insights on best rates & dampers for this particular setup. Might even be willing to try softer springs in the SSM car if the street experiment goes well on wife's car. (2.5 deg camber f/r, stock diff, '02 front bar, 17x9 wheels & 255 Z2s. Thanks in advance...

I'm guessing you can use a "standard" eibach spring like this for the KWV3's?

On V3's, You can run 60mm Hypercoil 5.5" FL 650 front and 550 rear. That's the max before revalving. You can also run 6" FL without a problem. I'm currently running 600 f and 550 r 60mm 6" Hypercoils on v3's
