i think the best way is to get the FULL coilover for the CB7 and ask for a custom spring rate for the front. thats if you buy it brand new. if you get them used, just call the company that makes the coilover and ask them for custom spring rates

As suggested above, it would be better to get a full coilover system as opposed to just a a coilover spring kit with adjustable mounts. These are ones I would recommend

FunctionForm Type II
http://www.f2autolife.com/
K-Sport
http://www.importrp.com/produc...age=1
Megan Racing
http://www.meganracing.com/pro...id=93


The last two are all virtually the same.

As for a 'decklid' spoiler, it is called a flushmount. Finding an OEM flushmount is going to be difficult and expensive. There are other flushmount spoilers that will work including some BMW ones. You can also get some cheap ones that still look decent off of ebay.

Uhh what?

MOST people will tell you Koni Yellows with Ground Control sleeveovers is an excellent combo. One I'd match up against any of those you listed.

This is what I'm running, no complaints. Although it would be nice to have an adjustable shock sometimes.
