if that were in Kg/mm, that would be an awesome spring rate. for a mack truck.

That's lbs/in

no, i'm TELLING YOU it's lbs. Extreme drift coilover setups are usually 18/16 kg/mm (F/R) or around there.. 350lbs/in and 250lb/in sounds like.. Eibach sportlinish. Or thereabouts. (edited by Kevin: No, that's wrong, I'm dumb.)
They lower 2 inches/1.75 inches?

This doesn't sound like a "JDM" spring if it's measured in lbs/in and inches. Japanese springs are almost always measured by kg/mm and mm lowering.

6.25kg / 4.47kg is your setup. Could be anything. Typically rip off cheap-o springs or "coilovers" are 350/250 or 450/350 since they have generic springs. They are progressive if the the coils are woven closer/more together tword the top or bottom, or if they are fancy the coil can get thinner/taper off at the top or bottom.
