Spring Rates: RA/FLEX
Front: 671/504
Rear: 504/448
Aside from having higher spring rates, the shock absorbers on the RA setup are valved more for Road racing/track day usage with little emphasis-if any-on comfort. This means a harsher ride on the streets while the FLEX is a combination of performance and comfort for better streetability.
There is also the HT setup for Auto-X use but the price has not been disclosed.
HT spring rates
F:895
R:671
When I get my Evo, I plan on going with the RA setup or something from Ohlins. Reason being that I plan on doing track days and enjoy ripping through the various mountain roads in Southern California. Of course, this all depends on the availability of each at the time of the purchase. You have to look at what you are going to use your car for.
If you Auto-X you will need the stiffer spring rates of the HT. If you just want to have a little better performance than stock while not affecting your ride comfort too much, go the FLEX route.
Goodluck.
