Default GC rate vs Shunk2 coilover(spring over sleeve slip ons) accord

i had skunk2 coilovers(not the new full) and didnt like the ride(bouncy). whats the spring rate and how does it compare to GCs spring rate with their coilover(slip on)?

car is a 96 accord... very spirited daily driving. no track use.

What shocks were you using and were they the off the shelf Skunk springs? 99% of the time it's because people pair up shitty shocks like the KYB's with higher spring rated springs.

off the shelf skunk2 coilovers. yeah i paired them with kybs . it was just a daily driver and i didnt know i would need expensive shocks just to get a nice ride and ride height. i had h&r springs w/tokicos on my integra and it rode good(not expensive) so i figured i could do the same but.....


what is stock spring rates?
