In the past, long long ago, they disclosed the rates. For some reason, unknown to humans, they stopped.

My guess is that, for marketing reasons: ie. Rates between OE Sports and Sports, what the difference is, if any, etc. To justify pricing..

H&R sports with Koni Yellows (not neuspeed edition) on a 95 accord sedan is low as hell. This is after a couple years with the springs, and freshly installed shocks. Had a massive camber problem, zero-finger gap all around, and the control arms (well, technically it as the ball-joint camber kit) were hitting the fender wells practically every 100 meters or so. a lot lower than when i was riding on stock shocks + the H&R sports. their advertised 1.5-1.75 drop is complete bullshit. they do settle, and it took my car more than a few weeks to do so. probably a few months

i couldn't stand it anymore, so i got a set of H&R OE sports. the ride is alright, but these springs are really high. i liked the feel of the regular H&R sports much better. i'll probably get a set of coilovers eventually. OE sports are too stinkin high..

the documentation for H&R sports say something like 20%-25% stiffer than stock, and OE sports say something like 10%-15% stiffer than stock. my numbers might be a little off, but that's all they say

My rear negative camber seems to be getting worse. The OE sports are settling (I put AGX on at the same time I put the OE sp). Looks like another washer for the UCA.

I hate settling.

those are the correct spring rates for the Sports

check out the specs on my H&R Race:

Rate: Front- 460 Rear-350
Drop: Front- 2" Rear- 1.75
Progressively built but those coils are compressed all the way when the wieght of the car is on them. Functions as a Linear spring
