Does anyone know the equation, or how to work out the coil spring rate of a spring, using the length of spring, thickness of coil, amount of coils, inside and outside diameter of coil spring?

no

because there are different ways of making a coil in a spring.

100 slow rate 200 - 200 fast rate 600kg/mm

100 slow rate 600kg/mm

100 slow rate 200 - 200 fast rate 400kg/mm
(springs are wider than the 1st pic will be softer initial bound)

Have a look at WRC when they change the suspension.

wide long spring - dirt rally only
normal like a road car - dirt / road rally
narrow close - road rally only

Thanks Scott.
yeah I forgot about the variable rates springs.
The ones I have are single diameter from top to bottom and the coils are all evenly spaced
