im looking for a new suspension setup for my 95 hatchback. ive been running the tein flex with 9k front and 4k rear spring rates and it is WAY too soft. I'm leaning towards getting a set of function form coilovers mainly because of the price, range of available spring rates, and rebuild sevice. i will be using the car for daily driving, agressive backroad driving, autox and hopefully some HPDE'S. my question is what do you guys reccomend i use in the way of front and rear spring rates... i dont want to go lower than 12k in front, because of the nasty roads around here. with my teins i was hitting the bump stops all the time, while my freind with 12k up front was fine. i have had good experience w/ lower rates in the rear at autocross with the tiens. my cousin also has the omni coilovers rated at 12k front and 14k rear, and his car also is very neutral. i would definatly appreciate some professional expereince from some of you guys on honda tech

 

sounds like your dampening was too soft........... 9k is plenty stiff for a street car IMO....... personally i use 8k/6k and have zero issues bottoming out

spring rates dont mean everything a properly setup strut/spring with a lesser spring rate can perform better than a high spring rate/ low dampening setup in most cases
