Default B Series EG Spring Rate Question....

I have a 93 civic sedan with B-series in it..What is a good spring rate for a street driven car, for a not to harsh ride but stabile. I was looking at some springs that were 215lbs/in front and 140lbs/in in back, but i think that may be to soft...any suggestions?

Those rates would be great for a daily driven car that isn't going to be lowered more than 1" or so, imho.

If you want to slam it, you're going to need much stiffer rates though.

Terribly on rough pavement, as the car will constantly be making use of the bumpstops, but just fine on smooth pavement.

I think those rates are way too soft for a 2" drop.
