springs/coilover sleeve for ride quality
Currently I have tokico illumina with skunk 2 coilovers and it rides like crap. I am not sure if the shocks are blown or if the spring rates are too high. I have a spare set of koni yellows and I am looking for something that will ride nice, performance isnt as much of an issue.
I am looking for a pair of springs/coilovers that would meet my needs, as well as be sub $200 (could be used). The car it will be going on is a 95 integra and i am looking to have a 1-2 finger gap on 15" 55 series tires.
Does anyone know what this will equate to in terms of inches of drop?
Is it possible to get softer spring rates for the skunk 2 coilover sleeves? if so, where?
What do you guys suggest i get?

Re: springs/coilover sleeve for ride quality
if rides like crap is what you mean by stiff, then yes, i see what mean. 8k is 447lb/in and 6k is 335lb/in
if you want a comfortable ride ground controls still won't rival something like a tein h tech since they are wound progressive. if you do go ground control. somewhere around 300/250lb front to rear would be a good increase in ride comfort but would also promote a bit more lean in the corners and slow down transition time. it will however improve braking traction and your traction over those bumpy roads.
if you want to roll closer to that 1 finger gap you'll want to kick the fronts up to 350lb or even the GC OTS 380/250 kit. it has more understeer than 300/250 but won't slam the ground as easy.
