150 lb/in does seem very light, but then again, you have to consider how "long" the spring is, because this is 150 lb per LINEAR INCH. Since this is a stock spring, it is longer than an ERS spring. I don't know how you measure the "linear" part in "linear inch", but it is agreeable no matter how you measure it, the ERS has a smaller value for "linear inch" than a full length spring.
So bottom line is to be sure that you take into account the entire spring.
