OEM MS3 spring rates? I need solid confirmation

[fastdreams]

What I've found from second hand information is:

Fronts = 33N/mm (188.562lbf/in)
Rears = 30N/mm (171.42lbf/in)

And from that same supposedly "mazda press release" the 2007+ MZ3 rates are:

Fronts = 23N/mm (131.422lbf/in)
Rears = 23N/mm

This translates perfectly with the report from Car&Driver stating that the MS3 spring rates are 43% higher in front and 30% higher in rear than the Mazda 3. So I feel pretty good about the info, but would like further confirmation before using it as gospel.

Thanks for your time,
Kevin
