TEIN is WAY too soft with their rear rates , get custom rates out back and the front should be fine

i have a question guys...kinda branched off from the original topic question i suppose... My question is i have a 1995 ex coupe now, i have H&R sports on agx's...i dont know what the spring rate is, but i suppose i will encounter various problems when i drop a bigger engine in (at least B18B1). If i buy Integra LS H&R race springs will i have any problems with them on the stock ex engine i have now? Im not getting the swap for at least another year, but i can get a great deal on the springs now!! Any help would be kindly appreciated guys thanks!

Ground control


650 front
800 rear

a tiny bit stiff, but worth it.

The rear end dip; shifting into second isn't there anymore.

Tien HA
560F/400R
10k/7k

Seem to work fine for me so far, but I have yet to autox or track the car with this setup.

Will probably end up with stiffer rear springs, but probably not stiffer then the front.

You know you got it backwards right, you want siffer springs in the front and the softer in the rear on a ff car

thats generally right, however since FF cars have a tendince to understeer, putting stiffer springs in the back helps to rotate the car more to counteract the understeer.

I have H&R race srings now 450f/290r but will be moving into some Ground Controls 425f/300r very soon. I'm running an ITR rear sway and daily drive this in the rain, shine, and snow. Otherwise I would have went with more in the rear springs.
The H&R race springs are a tad too soft in the rear for my likes.
