typical question
ok, what is the advrage typical spring rate in any normal stock vehical? compared to a 8-10k spring rate, and exactly how stiff is 8-10k?

After exhausting efforts, Omni Power feels that they have produced the ultimate coilovers. Not only did they want a system that could perform well on the track, but also one that could be driven on the street. This is not as easy as it may seem. Using many of the technologies found in a Porsche 911 GT2/GT3 coilover, Omni Power carefully configured bump and rebound settings for each specific application to produce optimum driving dynamics. They used spring (Street F=10K & R=8K and Sport F=12K & R=10K) and damper rates that yield exceptional handling characteristics coupled with unsurpassed street drivability.
im having troble determining what package to go with... street or sport...

Re: typical question (myrevenge)
a few stock spring rates...
96-00 EX - 165F/80R (P/P)
99-00 Si (EM1) - 201F/99.8R (P/P)
97, 00-01 ITR - 250F/250R (L/P)
GS-R - 200F/95R (P/P)
CTR - 240/240 (L/P)
to convert spring rates from kg.mm to lb.in, multiply by 56. thats an approximation because i dont remember the actual number, its something like 55.76879629374629386458769328726743650357608536.
56 is generally close enough.
10k/8k comes to about 560/450, 12k/10k is 670/560 or somewhere in there.
