PAG does not publish the spring rates so to get them someone has to play around on a shock dyno. The only figures I've seen were for the plain-jane 996 and they were pulled off the dyno at Bilstein in California and published in Panorama.

this may be the article that you are referring to in panorama.
it may provide some useful information although not an exact answer to your question.

What level of updates is your 996TT workshop manual at (pdf or printed)? I still can't/couldn't find it but I also don't have all the latest updates.
