I just bought somes GCs for my DC want to make sure the numbers on the springs are what they told me they are. They're supposed to be ots spring rates.

This is what the numbers read. Are they for a DC and ots rates?

1: 83526
2: gc200.64.58

Counting on you guys because I want to install them early tomorrow, and vtecvoodoo is offline right now.

 

1: 83526
thats just the production batch number.


2: gc200.64.58

8" length, 2.5" diameter, 330lb/inch spring rate.

whats the other set of spring say?

not sure what ots rates are for the DC. but it seems like thats for the front based on the 8" length, which 330lbs wouldnt be too bad. and usually for ots springs, they come in metric, not english anyway, so likely its ots. so tell us what the other spring says. should be different.


for future reference.

How do I tell what my spring rates are?
Ground Control sells Eibach Race Springs (ERS) which are labelled by 3 different values in the following convention: length . diameter . spring rate. However, ERS will come labelled in either Metric (mm.mm.N/m) or English (inchx100.inchx100.lbs/inch) units. 180.64.61 is the same thing as 700.250.350. The conversion from Metric to English is (/.254, /.254, x5.7) "/" means "divide by", "x" means "multiply by".

[edit: actually i tihnk it was supposed to be 380 in the front for integras, but honestly, its not that bad]

found out that dc front ots are f350/r280


EDIT: so now what? I have a damn suspension w/ f330/r350

I guess it's better that stock 212/117 according to team-integra.net info; they'll be paired w/ koni yellows.

its not the end of the world. you can put the 350 up front so its 350/330 and it will give you more rotation than just 350/280 which you would have gotten as ots rates.

try whatever you wish and see if you like it. the 20# difference is not going to be too perceivable tho, so it doesnt matter if its 350/330 or 330/350 so much.

I don't quite understand what you're talking about?

put the front 380 (that I don't have) and put the front that I already have (330) in teh back?

Or put the rear 350's that I have in the front and the front 330s in the rear?

I'll likely just install them 330/350. Maybe upgrade later.

Thnaks for the help.

 

not 380, sorry. i meant 350/330. or whatever.

theres no necessarily "front" or "back" spring. you have the freedom of choosing, as long as the spring length allows for enough adjustment range to get the height you want.
