would they be as good as lets say agx and skunk2 combo? integra rates for skunks are 400r/500F

nope...they are a bit stiffer than skunks i believe. I have Tein HA's and they are 16 way adjustable...i have them on the stiffest settings on front and rear...i need a mouthpiece to prevent my teeth from chattering while i'm driving...

 

spring rate charts state otherwise...

 

Skunk2 Integra rates are 550F & 440R (rounded off). Tein (and most JDM suspension companys for that matter) use 660F and 440R (rounded off).

 

I thought the SS have 448lbs Front and 336lbs Rear ?

they're great for a street car that goes to the drag strip. I don't remember the spring rates off the top of my head but the SS are like 450f/350r app. and the flex are like 500f/350r app. Id have to get the exact specs when I go home...

Custom spring rates (like 400f/900r) would be better for a Drag car that looks like a street car if you catch my drift.

 

wtf are the spring rates or h&r sports and race? lol too lazy to look it up.
come on human car encyclopedia direp

 

Not sure what the spring rates are, but the spring rate on my drag car are way way lower than those described above

 

You drag car is WAAYY lighter than a street car!

 

hey thats funny u ask that SiRkid cause I just looked up the Neuspeed Race springs last week and they are the same as H&R race which is 450/360 there you go.

 

We have Tein with the EDFC on Duc's B18C/EJ6 and I ******* hate that suspension... It's probably nice for road racing but the rebound rate, etc. sucks... We jacked up the car and it takes soooo long for the suspension to rebound that the wheel is normally off the ground for a few seconds... At the track you can see it squat and never come back till you let off at the end of the track... Nice to know what $6K suspension is worth for drag, haha... Just my $0.02
