Prodrive has been secretive about their rates because they seem to work so well and they don't want people to copy them. However, I think the prodrive springs are progressive, which may allow them to run a higher rate w/o the associated bounce over smaller bumps and on the freeway. Figure, less bounce and more handling out of a well designed progressive spring on stock struts. But you can't lower the car quite as much, which IMO is a good thing.
