They are terra springs - soft with about 40mm drop usually. They normally come with the Bilstein sprint line kits.

They are a little soft for my personal liking. H&R's are much better.

I don;t know what the spring rates are but from when I drove a car with them fitted it did seem to be softer than standard.
