They certainly are not 170 lbs which is the same as stock springs. I would say the rears are approaching 170 lbs , but definitely not the fronts. Tein advertises a certain drop and a certain sprnig rate on the H-techs but they are off on both counts , you get a much lower drop than advertised and a stiffer spring rate than advertised, mostly on the fronts.

I am now running the Mopar springs, I'd have to say the spring rates are only slightly higher than stock springs, not a big difference in that regard. So perhaps in the 180 lb range, and maybe 140 or 150 lbs on the rears. not a big difference in stiffness, with a mild drop. The front drop is more than advertised thogh, it is a 1.25 inches drop on the front, right around one inch in the rear.

Can anybody with access to a spring dyno confirm this?
