They are a 'budget' solution to lowering. They are made to a price, whilst they are made to a certain standard (TU approval) they are still largely recognised as being shit.
I doubt even TA Technics themselves could give you technical values on them, since they don't have adjustable rebound or adjustable damping, they are just a shock body with coilover springs on collars.
I once bought a set, laid them out on the floor and immediately decided not to fit them. Once you see how well made even a 'cheap' set of decent coilovers are then you would not see the TA Technics as anything more suitable than scrap metal.
If you want a more technical answer, ask member 'Rippthrough'. He is a great advocate of TA Technics budget coilovers, absolutely loves them he does....

Shite on bump, poor on rebound.
