i dont know the rates so i posted what was written on the springs. also i got the civic rates because they are lower than integras so the ride wont be quite as harsh.

008 = 447LB NOT 800.
006 = 335LB.

skunks goes by kg/mm i dont know how you guys got 800 and 600.

anyways some use higher spring rate in the rear, personally i know they dont know anything
about wheel rate. i use the heavier spring up front. maybe you should do the same.
