Default I need a coilovers company to make me springs with custom rates.

I am going to be hauling around alot of weight in my civic. If I decide to make it electric.... I need coilovers, becuase they offer the best solution for this application. Anyway what coilovers company do you recomend? I will have 16 batteries weighing in around 50 lbs in the back. So lets say 800 lbs added weight in the back. What spring rates do I need for the rear? And 400 lbs extra in the front. Does anybody make springs that will work with my car? Im thinking the stiffer the rate the better, then the farther down I can go lowrider electric =]

Ground control makes a really good coilover and they will make them any spring rate you want. They have really good customer service too! Just give them a call and tell them what you are wanting to do and they can tell you what you will need. (no I don't work for them!)

I was looking for a full coilover system, becuase it would be stronger than a strut with a ground control coilover on it no?

Can you use ground control springs with other coilovers?
