First, you have the unit all wrong. It's not K nor lbs (I know most people just call it "lbs", but it's not correct), it's kg/mm in Metric, and lbs/in in English unit. The conversion for kg to lbs is 1 lb = 2.2 kg, and from mm to in is 1 in = 25.4 mm. I guess now you can get the conversion from kg/mm to lbs/in.

Thanks!
I forgot the units for spring rates, I tried searching but gave up I wanted to sleep!

Thanks for the units.

However, I believe 1 kg = 2.2 lb.

i beg to differ on that, i help my friend sell tein products and i do a great deal of reaserch on it, here is the info

HA's = old models that utilize "helper springs" to combat spring rattle

SS's =new models that is only offered in the US for supposedly "us spec" cars, the ss differs to the ha in the fact that they were able to shorten the spring combination and minimize spring rattle which is why they got rid of the "helper springs" as there were no longer needed, according to my contact from tein, the ss is due to replace the HA's line up in the up comming future, as for actual specifications I BELIEVE that the spring rates are the same.

hope that clears any mishaps and confusion
