Found this on M3post which might give you an idea. He says they are about 475 lb/in front and 260 lb/in rear. That's for the M3 of course, but might give you an idea what the rates are

Sounds right, you can't really measure a progressive spring because the rate increases as it is compressed

Why do you ask about the spring rates?

For what it's worth, KW Clubsport is an excellent package, some M3 guys rave about this kit.

I like them a lot and I have not yet fully tweaked it's damping or compression to its full limits the clubsport come with KW camber plates. though it's a bit harsh driving in the winter with snow tires. even though I have adjust it to soft but as the manual book said. never adjust to FULL soft or hard
