My current FRP460 SPF has 450 fronts and progressive rate 225/475# rears, 2750 lbs. Weights are with 3/4 tank and 160# driver.

The coil spring rates are usually stamped on the spring, either on top of the first coil (you'll have to take them apart), or screen-printed onto the side.

The 600# springs are way too big for that car IMHO.
Please let us know what you find out.
It sounded high to me too, but I did not know what the Motion Ratio was when I got the car and that's what the dealer told me it was.

I was advised today that springs that had been taken off other cars and tested, ranged from 350-375.
