I've got a h22 sitting in my garage waiting to be transplanted into my accord. From what I read it will increase the weight of my car by about 300 pounds. I'm looking into getting coilovers and new springs 1st. Now is where you guys come in.

1st ?- Should I even worry about the extra 300 pounds??
2nd ?- Will a larger spring rate compensate for the extra weight?
3rd ?- What spring rate would be best for the extra weight in the front?

Thanks for your time.

Edit: I'm looking at getting kyb agx shocks and Bomz racing spring coilovers. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm looking to spend no more than $800. By the way, its for a street car. No racing planned.........yet.

i'm a little new to honda tunining so i'm sure other people will have stuff to add here. the extra 300 pounds is something to take into account. your car will have more of a tendency to dive foreward when you hit the brakes. so i would personally go with a heavier duty strut and spring. the kyb should work. i use them in my car. but i deffinatly would not go with the Bomz coilovers. my buddy used them on his accord and he had the bumpiest ride ever. it felt like you were on a boat. with 800 dollars to spend i would use it on buying a good set of springs.

 

Yeah I'm leaning on not getting the bomz springs becuase they don't tell you the spring rate. For the suspension guru's....what spring rate should I be looking for??
