Default Spring Rate

Would anyone happen to know the spring rates on the stock dampers?

Have you tried a search for "spring rates"? I found a thread that had the spring rates for a bunch of different springs, including stock, but I don't remember where.

00-01 are different from 02-03. Anyway, I remember seeing something in the range of 180-200 front and 275 ish rear (lb/in).

'00/'01:
Front 219 lb/in (3.91 kg/mm)
Rear 291 lb/in (5.20 kg/mm)

Don't know exact figures for '02+, but front springs got stiffer, front swaybar softer, rear springs and swaybar both softer...

I have heard that the '02 springs are different rates, but I've also heard that the part numbers are the same for all years (for the springs only).

Any way to confirm this, that the part number is the same.

EDIT:

Just found this thread:

Looks like part numbers are actually different.
