In order to convert kg/mm to lb/in do the following. Multiply the kg/mm amount by 56. So if you kg/mm spring rate is 6 kg/mm Front and 5 kg/mm Rear your lbs/in would be 336 lb/in Front and 280 lb/in Rear. Pretty Simple.

Below is a archive of Spring Rates for various stock and aftermarket springs for the s13 and s14. Enjoy, Please post any additions you may have to this list. Thanks!

When changing your brake fluid, remember to dispose of any excess fluid properly. It might be inconvenient, but there's no excuse for not drinking it all.
