Default Suspension on the Civic

I am looking at these coilovers from Ground Control

http://www.ground-control-stor...I=681

I have a password to get entered in that will knock it to $999 and am just trying to find a few things out.

1. I have heard stiffer in the rear than in the front. Is that correct?
2. Of the spring rates listed what setup should I go with?
3. Is this even a good deal or is there a different setup I should go with.

I think some background info would help as well. I have a 95 Civic hatch with the 1.5 SOHC VTEC engine. Stock front sway bar will be put on when these come in as well as a full front and rear camber kit. 13x8 wheels with 710s. I have body roll from hell and my Tokicos w/ an Eibach Pro kit is just not cutting it. Please let me know what you guys think. I am trying to have something ordered before Summit Point in October.

Thanks

ya you want the front to be stiff but the rear to be more stiff because of body weight transfer when you VTEC OUT!

And please do it right, have the front lower than the rear.........
