i would really like to know what del sol owners(preferably with b16's) are running for comfort/performance on the streets? nothing too bouncy, and nothing too floaty and nothin too stiff, i need some opinions. ive driven on 350/275, it was ok, and ive driven stock, and ive driven 700/900(too stiff). any opinions or feedback on your own spring rates??

are you looking to do any racing or auto cross with this car? If not, I would suggest getting the Progess suspension Springs with Tokico Illuminas. I have drove an Integra in this setup and it was perfect for Michigan's shitty roads.

actually i get a great deal on eibach race springs, but i will do some track days, but i need to hear spring rates.thanks anyways.

bubbajim

anyone else??????

Mr Hammond

If you are running on the streets then buy an Eibach Pro Kit and KYB AGX's and call it a day. Why need anything else? If you wanna do custom rates a little more detail would help. I mean most of your OTS struts (AGX's, Yellow's, 'stiens, Illumina's etc...) are only going to be good for around a 400lb or so spring. They can always be revalved.

Or if you are talking about running true coilovers they can take some pretty healthy rates. What are you looking for?

i really do prefer the illuminas, with 350/275 rates, its pretty good in the handling department. basically you answered my question with saying that 400's are pushing the limits of these off the shelf shocks, i didnt know that! what would be the next step in shocks with rates over 400??

i htought that the koni's will handle up to 500. its just that it has to sit on its hgihest/stiffest setting and anythign after that will feel underdampened.

the next step with koni yellows anyways is getting them revalved. so they feel stiffer at higher rates.
