Default Spring Rates

Any idea's what the spring rate is on a 99 Jap import?

I'm trying to find some coilovers but don't want the ride to be much harder than it is already

I've never heard of JDMs having harder springs. I suppose I could get them out of the garage and jump up and down on them and try to judge.
