The front spring number is 25962574 for FE3 sport suspension automatic transmission
The front spring number is 25962573 for FE3 sport suspension manual transmission
The rear spring number is 25962580 for FE3 sport suspension automatic transmission
The rear spring number is 25962579 for FE3 sport suspension manual transmission

Spring Rate is the amount of weight required to deflect a spring one-inch, making it a measure of softness for the spring.
The higher the number, the stiffer the ride.

Ty for the update but you didn't answer my question?

There are 2 specs for the springs FE3 -Z51 automatic and manual.
Do you know the spring rate #'s for automatic and manual?
