Not sure if you have checked out Ubipa's site. There is a listing of spring rates for Intrax, Kilen, B&G, stock, SPG and a couple others.
Here is the link:

My recollection is that Kilen is not as stiff as the Intrax (based on the website info). I've got Kilen's and Bilsteins in my 88 900T. They lowered the car about 1.5 inches and definitely made for a more firm ride. The firm ride was created as much by the Kilen's as it was by the Bilstein's though. Initially I had Kilen's and KYBs - bad mistake - KYBs were simply not up to the task of dampening such a stiff spring.
The ride is more stiff than stock, without a doubt. Honestly though it is not unbearable and I've made several 3+ hour freeway drives and have not suffered compressed disks in my back :). On a twisty road the setup is way better than stock.
