Default Ground Control and koni yellow guestion

Does anybody kno where the cheapest place is to get the koni yellows and ground control coilovers set with all four top hats, and does changing the spring rate make it handle any better, and does it depend on what engine your running.

Search around, call some sites and ask. It depends on what rates you are going from initially and then changing to. The weight of D-B-H-K engines aren't significantly different so the weight of a new engine plays little effect on what your spring rates are. A lot of people tend to think when they swap a B series from a D they need super stiff front springs but that is far from the case. The stock spring rates for ALL of these Hondas are real soft, so bumping up to some aftermarket springs is way more than enough to support your engine weight, whatever the swap is...

I generally recommened a spring rate in the ball park of 350 lbs/in for front & rear for a daily driven street car. This is significantly stiffer than stock, yet with the Koni's will be a fairly smooth ride and also very fun and useful for any novice entering some form of motorsports events. Just don't slam the car..
