In order to convert kg/mm to lb/in do the following. Multiply the kg/mm amount by 56. So if you kg/mm spring rate is 6 kg/mm Front and 5 kg/mm Rear your lbs/in would be 336 lb/in Front and 280 lb/in Rear. Pretty Simple.
Below is a archive of Spring Rates for various stock and aftermarket springs for the s13 and s14. Enjoy, Please post any additions you may have to this list. Thanks!
