These are the 9kg coils that come stock on the front ksport coilovers. Size is 205mm long with a 62mm inner diameter. These were used for 5k miles. MSRP for these is $49.00 a spring. Asking $60 shipped for the pair.

GLWS.

Just wondering though, did you switch to a higher or lower spring rate?

Lower, I went down to 7kg in the front. The stock setup wasn't a bad ride, but I do a lot of highway driving for work and needed something a bit more mild. However, there's less of a difference between 9 and 7 than I thought there would be.

Same problem i have with this setup.
I think the spring is to short, that is why the k-sports feel so hard. (a sudden stop)
I think if they make them just a bit longer,it would be perfect....but i think dat is impossible. :-?

And i always wonder if the spring is progressive???

^All coilover springs are linear. Spring rate and valving are the determining factors in the ride quality of a coilover setup. Ksport sells longer replacement springs, but that would position the piston lower in the strut body, making the ride even harsher while also damaging the strut.
