if you see a rate like 500lbs, you know they are very stiff.

if you see 2 different rates from the same manufactuer then
you can tell which are stiffer as they probably (assuming)
used the same measuring method(s).

2 different rates from 2 different manufacturers.... you can only
guess.
mine r 560in/lbs rear , 448in/lbs front....linear
