Default Just got this today!!!! (56k Come in!!!)







I just got these H&R race springs today. How do I know the spring rates??

They're going to be replacing my cheapo coilovers....

I also have KYB AGX shocks. Should I see a big improvement over the cheap coilovers???

Here's my car

To get the spring rate you can contact H&R.

And yes, you should notice better handling since I'm willing to bet those Race springs are stiffer than your current ones.

Nice paint

very nice looking coupe bro...the H&Rs will give you a better ride than your coilovers. plus the fact that you have AGX's will make your ride even better

Damn, my H&R Sports lowered my Teg more than the Race springs do. I'm getting Ground Controls, and I'm thinking you maybe should have, too.

Yeah one of my buddies had them on his 2000 SI and they slammed it I know it was more than the 2.5 and 2.25 like he thought it was going to be. Unless he got sent the wrong ones.

Most any spring rate can be found there, i think there all pretty similar, the Si rated springs may be a little stiffer on the front because the B-series weighs more than the SOHC engine.

Most of the companys use the same springs for all the 92-00 cars anyway, so the rates should all be the same.
