Need weight of stock suspension (shock and spring)

Can any one tell me the weight of the stock shock and spring on all corners?
I have to know what kind of weight savings I will realize to warrant buying Tein RA shocks. Thanks.

Ir ead somewhere before that stock S2000 spring rates are:
F:3.5kg
R:5.0kg
I assume that is for first generation S2000s

Also read somewhere that the 2002 model has harder spring rates than previous models...

I think his looking for the weight of the stock suspension, not the spring rate.

I have my set sitting in the back of my closet, when I have time, I'll try to weigh them on my bathroom scale.

Whoops my bad..I have a set of stock springs in the garage as well...I placed them on the scale and it seems to be 6.7kg-7.0kg...
I then put myself on the scale too the weight...and weighted myself with the springs...The same result...
I know this is not the most scientific and accurate way to measre true weight...
But I hope this helps!

P.s Weight is for all 4 springs...All 4 weight about the same...
