Posted this in the EG section but i guess i'll try out this place as well o_O

Aite guys like the title says what spring rates are recommended for my Rear to run a Type R 22mm sway so i don't damage my subframe.

Car : 1993 Civic Si

My Current setup is :

GC coilovers with integ rates 380 front / 250 Rear
Tc Sportline rear lcas
Kyb Agx Shocks/struts
** stock front sway bar 14mm i believe, i forgot to put this LOL**

Want to use (i already have all the hardware except for the beaks stuff still got to order it) :

Rear Type R sway 22mm
Beaks SRK
Beaks Lower Tie Bar
Energy Suspension Sway Bar Mounting Bushings

Oh and this is for a Daily Driver i want to try out AutoX/solo2 but i don't want the ride to be too harsh/bouncy cause i do drive this to work, school, and etc.

i was thinking in the lines of 400lbs for the rear, What you guys think???

Use a Beeks kit or a sway bar with re-enforced mounting like the GC and you will be fine.

 

400 rates is probably going to be a little much for AGX'es.

 

Springs first then anti roll bar.
You are working backwards but if you must work this way.
Figure out the stiffness of you anti roll bar.
Then figure around 20% of your total axel roll stiffness should come from your anti roll bar to calculate you spring stiffness.

i already got springs, but im asking what should i change my rates in the rear , so it would work with the type r 22mm sway i got.

why would 400lbs be too much for agxs??

also would it matter if i had a stock front sway (14mm i believe) for got to say i had that

 

imma just order the beaks kit and slap it on , if it messes up den i'll prolly get a new subframe LOL.

i was thinking what if i coat my subframe with some Line-X http://www.goline-x.com/prodinfo.asp , that ***** practially bullet proof also used by the government , and my dads friend owns the shop so its pratically for free HAHAA

actually that **** is bomb proof LOL http://www.paxcon.com/home.shtml "the Line-X paint is flexible yet stronger than steel" quote from that site

 

ran GC/konis with 350f/400r and the jdm 23mm rear sway and it was buttah!


good daily driver set-up
