Default spring rates 6.2/8kg gc/koni or tein

ok it's time to get rid of my lame springs and get something good.

i have a 2000 ex coupe.

i currently have ebiach prolines with stock shocks. front upper strut and rear lower strut

now i want to compensate for the understear i see with this setup.

im thinking of going with a 300-350/450 setup, and maybe a rear sway.

is this setup straight for the street. i dont want my *** end to spin around or anything, and i love to corner.

also what brand. im tossed between the koni/gc combo or a tein setup..

thanks

platinum.

mind you i have a hatch now, but i have 350/400 setup. i love it so far, although when i do my motor swap i will probably go to 400/450. i'm not sure on the coupes. i'm pretty sure the hatches have a bit more oversteer from the factory than the coupes. when mine was stock i could easily get the rear out, just under throttle lift. now it's a little more nuetral with the front sway and all. i've had konis before and two of them leaked pretty fast. i have tokico now and it feels great. and i loooove cornering.

oh yeah, the thing i didn't like about tein was i couldn't designate my spring rates.
