I calculated the pre-gen once, but cannot find it now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring...vice%29#Theory You can measure the deformation if pulling the shock absorber out and load it.

new gen is listed as 9.3 kg/mm on racetech's site. I think that is around 520 inch pounds. I have read that the spring rate on the 300 is the same rate but a longer spring, allowing for more preload. Can anyone confirm?
