Awesome! Thanks for the pointer, that has all the info that I need.
The actual spring rate in the front is 480 lb/in, but there is about a
4.8:1 lever ratio going on there. 

The vehicle weights chart show the cars to be really close to 50/50
and match pretty closely with what I've found with my car.
