The Original Noob with Boobs
cool, where did you find it on k-series? I couldn't find it, everythings been switched around over there.Originally Posted by mhx
Oh, I'm not a mod, so I can't sticky it
i know its a dumb question but, the higher the spring rate the softer? or is it the higher the spring rate the stiffer? thanks guys
higher the spring rate the stiffer the ride.Originally Posted by Gold_EP3
mhx, are you sure about the tein s-tech spring rates? I was under the impression that they had lower rates than stock.
Never mind, I just checked the TEIN website and saw that they're developing an EP3-specific application with the 280/515 rates. Unfortunately, those of us with the 01+ civic s-tech springs have the soft-as-buttah 157/291 rates. :(
its on the websiteOriginally Posted by djsolution
yeap...time to trade up for the real ones :DOriginally Posted by djsolution
I'd annote that some people have the lower spring rate, because tein just came out with specific ones for the ep3Originally Posted by mhx
correct me if i'm wrong but the :
Neupseed Sport: Spring Rate: (200 Front/280 Rear) - Drop: (1.5in Front/1.5in Rear)
Will actually be a softer ride than stock???
Consider you have 2 springs having different spring rates: One with 345 and the other with 480. So what does it mean?Originally Posted by John02Si
It means the 1st spring will compress 1mm if you put a load of 345 grams, while the 2nd one will not. The 2nd one will need a 480 g. load to compress 1mm. According to this, we can say that the 2nd spring is harder than the 1st one, or we can state that:
Springs that have a low Spring Rate are soft, while springs that have a high Spring Rate are stiffer.

that being said above, am i going to be bouncing all over the place? i know ive already asked a few of you this question, but i'm really looking for the closest feel to stock as possible.
Anyone have any info on the D2 coilovers? Are these good for AutoXing?
