The type R springs are not stiffer by much. The point is they can handle the extra lift while keeping the same margin before springs are fully compressed. B16a springs with type R cams you have only 0,5mm (more or less) before the spring is fully compressed while you normally have around 1,5 mm.
Type R cams with A2 maps I bet you are runing lean (around 14 or more) past 6500 - 7000 rpm.
