As far as I know, the Spring rates between the MR and the GSR are the same.
JustDSM states:
There's two part numbers for the rear springs on the MR. I'm going to have to investigate.. On first impression the fronts are obviously different springs. Rears *could* be the same.

I'd like to pick up a set of the Bilsteins, but I'd like to know if there are any other factors to making my current evo ride like the MR.

Thanks anyway JustDSM. Someone mentioned that the different spring part numbers in the rear could be due to the ACD system.
Just my hypothesis... the spring that is different should be on the driver side, rear, since the ACD resevoir should be on that side, right? I don't know the layout of the new MR, but could the ACD system have some parts near the driver side, rear spring that necessitates a different spring? In that case, should the passenger rear spring on the MR have the same part number as the earlier Evos?

Multiple Part Numbers
Its also quite possible that both rear springs are the same, but have differnt part numbers for organizational/production purposes. Simply put, each part on the car probably has a part number. The Japanese are famous for the simplicity and thus the effficiency of their manufacturing techniques. My 86' Toyota 4runner had 4 part numbers for the tires. 1 for each tire :/ It never made sense to me, but it obviously did to them and who can argue with their production methods?

Not necessarily. Having different part numbers for the same part allows for two different prices for the part, even if the differences are insignificant.
