Switching front and rear springs on Omnipower
I currently have the Omnipower sports (12f/10r) on my 1995 Integra. I was just curious if anyone has tried swapping the spring rates and putting the 12k springs in the rear, and run the 10k springs up front. I know this would benefit me for drag purposes (less squat when launching therefore improving 60' times), but how would this set up be on the touge? Has anyone tried a 10f/12r set up and if so, what were your driving impressions?
Thanks

Ok....I will pretend you didn't say "togue" or whatever....
Switch them front to rear and they should feel better then they do now.

ROFL.. ok exclude the "touge" part. Let's just say for spirited driving, how would the 12k front and the 10k rear feel compared to 12f/10r?

It would be more apt to oversteer with the stiffer springs on the rear. The ride quality would go down as well. Try it, if you like it leave it, if not change it back. It doesn't really take much to swap the springs.

Andy from the SRO Civic Race Car that races in the H1 Honda challenge switched the stiffer springs in the rear on his TEIN's. He said he like it better because it brought the car around the corner quicker for him.
