Question torsion bar rates

Does anyone know the rates of stock rear torsion bars or a formula for calculating the rate?
Allan Staniforth writes in his book "Race and Rally Car Sourcebook: The Guide to Building or Modifying a Competition Car" that the balance between springing frequencies in front and rear is quite important.
So when choosing stiffer springs in front you`ll have to consider the spring rate in rear too.
