Default Is there a difference in springs rates -- Eibach Pro-kit

Just wondering if there is a difference between the rates for the DC2 Integra Prokits and EG civic PRokits.

Also.. pt # on the springs is 4017.001..
I went to Eibach site and did not find them. Tthe closest ones were "PRO-KIT 1.4 in Fr 1.2 in RR PT# 4017.140 " for a 93 civic..

Integra have a rate of:

--331 lb/in for the front
--126 to 194 lb/in for the rear
-- Lower about 1.3 inches

Civic ????


Just kinda curious what I got here.

For the Civic, it should be about 290 (frt) & 190 (rear).

Are these springs going to be able to handle a b-series motor? I realize they are designed for a D series so now im starting to regret the purchase

good god man, you swear like the B series weighs 1 ton more than the D series.

i think they only weigh 60 pounds more or something like that. its not that much more

What type of goals do you have for the suspension?

If you want a slightly lower stance with a stock-like ride and don't mind the carhandling mediocre, then Eibach Pro Kits won't be so bad.

If you ever get more serious abpout handling then I'd say Pro Kits won't be enough. Usually stiffer struts and springs are on call unless you go full coil-over set-up.

Just curious...

I dont want a crazy drop, thats why i got the eibach's, i will probabily end up using adjustable shocks set on a stiff setting.

I was also considering using a set of Cusco coilovers. I can get a set for a pretty got price right now, so im considering it.
