Spring rates, How do you find out what they are?
either call neuspeed...or take my spring rate.....im the spring rate man! i found these...i must get them verified
G3 OEM - 212F, 117R
neuspeed sports - 250 f, 185 r
G2 integra
Neuspeed Sport 1.80/1.80 340/230
damn u have an HX, i'll think that they'll be softer than these...cause your lighter

I have Neuspeed Sports.....(what and how did you find out) are the rates.
I've never tried this formula, but I saved it a while ago.
----------------------------------------------------------
Here's a formula for calculating spring rates.
K=W^4G/8ND^3 this is for springs
K=Stiffness of springs in lbs. per inch
W=Diameter of the spring wire in inches.
G=12,000,000 for streel springs
N=Number of coils(number of free coils +1/2)
D=Diameter of the coil measured to center of wire, in
inches.
If you need more info let me know
Here's the calc for the stock springs
K= ((.395)^4(120,00,000))/(8(6.5)(4.3125)^3)
K=70lbs
That was for the top end of the spring
here's the bottom
K= (((.395)^4(120,00,000))/(8(6.5)(3)^3)
K=208LBS
-one coil has D=3 1/6.5*208+5.5/6.5*70=91.1 lbs
THEREFORE THE STOCK REAR SPRING RATE IS 91.1 lbs
If i were to cut one coil off- 107.5 lbs
If i were to cut two coils off- 131 lbs
-------------------------------------------------
For torsion bars its:
K=1,178,000*(D^4/L*A^2)
=1,178,000 ((0.67)^4/(20*11.625^2))
=88 lbs
That was for the stock torsion bars
The 27mm bars come out to:
K=1,178,000((1.06)^4/2700)
=550 lbs

Yup, the Sports are on the HX.........love how light the car is and I already have the Alloy's 
suprfast.....go somewhere else......yeah, that's it.....go somewhere else.

So the higher the spring rate.. the stiffer the ride is??
I have ITR springs wut are the spring rates on them...
I heard 250/250
anyway
thanks

ha, those are all crappy spring rates. nothing to brag about. i run 400/600 GC on my daily driven CRX si.
