Ground Control Rates
Continuing with my build, I have the chance of of getting used GC's at a fair price and the rates look like 0600.250.0450=450lbs and .64.44=250lbs using a calculator found on HTech.
What are the disadvantages of having rates so wide apart? I was hoping for 450F/350R. Would the rear feel like its following the car around (as some describe when rates are to far apart)? Thanks!
Will have my build thread up soon on my RHD JDM EK3 B16a.

Re: Ground Control Rates
For the cost to value ratio of Koni Yellows/GC coilovers, I would buy a new set rather than used. People lie all the time about the true wear and tear of parts and abuse, and there is no real way to tell how many miles are on the used set up. However, if you do decide to go with the used ones 450f/250r, what do you mean by the rear following the car around? more oversteer or like the front end is dragging the *** end around?
I have 450f/350r on my 96 civic hatch and imo it is pretty much the perfect set up for a daily, handles very well and is still comfortable. my car is pretty neutral if you include that I have a 25mm ITR sway bar in front / ASR 24mm rear sway bar in back

Re: Ground Control Rates
I'm from Los Angeles, California, good 'ole USA. The roads around here are decent to very shitty, lots of pot holes, etc. Unless I'm going through a construction site or the roads are full of pot holes and big cracks, the ride isn't bad, i have my shocks set at 75% stiff front/ 50% stiff rear
