Ground Control Springs
Hey, guys. I recently purchased some Ground Control springs with spring numbers GC230.64.55 and GC230.64.49. My question is, which ones go to the front and which ones for the back? Also, will they be good for my car according to their spring rates? I own a '95 Civic CX Hatch.

Plug the numbers into Google. If they are all the same length then it all depends. If you want understeer the higher rates go in front and vice versa if you want over steer.

They are all the same length (9 inches). What are good spring rates for front and back for a good nice smooth ride for DD?

Smooth is subjective so I cannot answer, Anyone that does is only telling you what is good for them. Otherwise I'm going to tell you to stick with stock. And I don't understand the need to question rates if you've already bought the springs.

Well, I pulled a nooby move and bought the springs before really studying about spring rates and all that so I just wanted to know if these will ride well or not :/

Also, does anybody know if GC coilover springs are compatible with other types of coilover sleeves? Meaning sleeves and adjusting ring are not from ground control but another brand? Or are they only made to specifically fit their own?

You're right about that. Lol. Just tried to switch everything over to GC strut and stock top hat won't fit cause hole is too small. I believe the coil sleeve should fit though. Now time to look for GC top hats. Know where I can find some other than the site itself?

I've used GC springs on Maxspeed sleves before. Got some Maxspeed c/o's and didnt like the ride on them... few months later found the GC springs in my shead but couldnt find the sleves so i installed them and worked just fine...
