I have emailed Neuspeed about their sport springs rate and they told me 280 lb/in up front and 215lb/in in the rear. I believe the stock spring rate is 200lb/in up front and 275lb/in in rear. Why does Neuspeed put stiffer springs in front and a pair of way softer springs in rear???
Are you sure about the stock rates? I think most springs would be stiffer in the front and softer in the back for braking purposes at least. Maybe Honda set it up for slight understeer?

H&R and a few other companies make coilovers for some cars non-adjustible in the rear and only adjustible in the front. A lower/stiffer car in the front would increase oversteer. Why Neuspeed would put even softer springs in the back though is beyond me. I really dont like them all that much anyway.
