Spring rates

OK guys need a little help! Does anybody know the factory spring rates? I'm considering a couple different spring packages but I'm having a hard time finding info. I like the tein springs, but not sure what the difference is between the s-tech and the h-tech (rates)? I was also considering the tanabe springs. Would also need help the alignment specs also. Thanks for the help in advance.

i have the tein s and i feel like a 100% satisfied.
i seen the tanabe installed on a 8 before it was dunked way too low and uneven his rear was even lower than the front.(but i think he might of cut a coil or so.)
as for stock springs have a horrible weight rate.well maybe the stocks my car came with cause as soon as anyone got in my car it would lower alot.

I was curious if I go and get my alignment settings before I change my springs, can I use those settings afterwards? Thanks for the info Kel

I'm trying to find out what the difference is between the s-tech and the h-tech. I want to drop an inch or so but not overly increase the spring rate. I have read that you are running 20's. I am getting ready to order a set of 20's but I havent taken the measurements yet. If you can give me the numbers it would be great. Did you need an alignment afterwards?
