I swapped out stock suspension a while back in my 95 teg and threw in Ground control coilovers. After that i could never get traction. I thought it was my shocks so i replaced stock ones with new kyb agx ones. Traction problem stayed the same. I cant even launch at 2000 rpm. tires just spin, no squeeling at all and no tire marks are left on the pavement. Engine is stock b20vtec not making much power.

I looked at the numbers on the springs today and they read

front 200.64.58 which have a spring rate of 330

Rear 180.64.44 which have a spring rate of 280

Does the spring rates sound to low? To me they seem backwards.

 

that seems like the default spring rates for off-the-shelf GCs...

How low are you?

 

about 2 inches lower than stock, have tried with the coilovers raised all the way and still same problem

 

you car just has mad torque in the low end.

 

did you get an alignment after you dropped it?

 

yes i got an alignment. Tires are just about brand new also.

I called ground control and they said that those coilovers were for a civic. Would that spring rate make that much of a difference?

 

no, that spring rate is still stiffer than the stock GSR rates... are your motor mounts in decent shape? bushings?

 

well i just got back from attempting to get another alignment, this is what they suggested that needed to be done before getting an alignment

2 lower control arm bushings
1 outer tie rod end left side
1 inner tied rod end right side
2 rack and pinion belows (dont know what this means exactly)
They also said that the drivers axle has alot of play at carrier bridge

So i guess im going to start off by replacing that axle and maybe get the energy suspension hyperflex master bushing set

Thanks for all the input guys
