I have a H22a motor going into my 93 civic ex coupe. I have Eibach springs, 1.8 in the back, 1.6 in the front i believe.. but i know im going to need higher rated springs (or atleast i believe so) when i do the swap, to counter balance the engine's 'forward' weight.

What spring rates do i need? front and back.. to try and eliminate the balance

also... should i replace struts/shocks? i have kyb struts for the springs i currently have, but i'm not familiar at all with suspensions, and i'd really appreciate any info about what setup would preform best for me.

thanks

 

i know that there are more companys out there that make springs besides eibach that are make for cars w/ swaps.

 

It's more a case of what you plan on doing with the car as opposed to what engine you have. Sure the h22 is heavier and you will need higher spring rates up front, but the pairing of front and back will depend on what you want to do (roadrace/autox, drag, etc.).
