info on stock coil spring rates

I've got a 93 R1 with the M2 performance kit (Eibach adjustble height coilovers w/GAB adjustible shocks. Please no flames but I'm thinking about changing back to stock to "civilize" the ride a bit. The M2 is great for autoX but not for cruising the streets. Anyway, currently the spring rates on the Eibachs are 550 lbs front and 450 lbs rear. I just want to find out the rates of say, the stock TOURING springs to see what the dif is. Can anyone help?

If you are in need of the springs I will trade you for yours plus cash.

550 and 450 are way too high on the street IMO.

I had those with Tein HA dampers and the car was too stiff on the street. I switched to about 440/330 springs and the ride is better now.
