    Thats not spring rate. Spring rate is a constant. You are looking for open and closed force.
    Valve Spring Load - Closed 340 N at 45.75 mm (76 lb at 1.8 in)
    Valve Spring Load - Open 980 N at 33.55 mm (220 lb at 1.32 in)

    The maximum spring rate is 50.64N/mm which is a constant on a straight spring but is actually only the maximim on an LS2 spring bcause of its behiveshape.

            LS2 springs are the exact same springs as LS6- same part number.
