Default Shock Absorber Spring Stiffness Value

Hi,
I was hoping to find a shock absorber with a spring stiffness of around 14N/mm
During my search I was unable to find any information on spring stiffness values

Does anyone know where I can get this information

I am looking for a pin to pin distance of 60mm

Thanks,
Colm

I don't think I've ever seen N/mm spring values in the RC car world. It's weird that a lot of RCs are using metric this; metric that, but I'm pretty sure a lot of companies use pound/inch for the value of a spring firmness. Any particular RC car that you hunting down a spring for?

Thanks for your reply
I converted N/mm to lb/in but whenever I check RC component stockists the information is very limited, sometimes I can't even find the shock head to shock end distance
Being pretty new to this area do you know a stockist that supplies this information or do you have any recommendations of a shock absorber with a particularly stiff spring?

Funny you should ask I don't have a car in mind, I have a project I'm working on where I need a controlled motion and I hope to achieve this with an RC shock absorber

Thanks for the help
