I have been searching to find what the spring rates for the FA5 stock suspension are... but I can't seem to find it! I find all the aftermarket ones but just not the stock ones.

I'm shopping around for a coilover kit so obviously you want to have some sort of ideal of how much stiffer the aftermarket ones are compared to stock.

Also, I've own an EP3 prior to picking up my new gem... we all know that the EP3 had a very troublesome to work with. The EP3 had a stiffer rear spring rate then the front. It was very important when choosing which kit to get to one that had a stiffer rear spring rate then the front as it allowed the car to rotate properly.

Anybody know FA5 stock spring rates?

 

200/in Front
230/in Rear

if you want more spring rates for some lowering springs offered for our cars jus go to 8thcivic.com and search spring rates most of the springs are shown

 

that is exactly where I went to look but couldn't find the actually spring rates of the FA5 stock wise...

So rear is a little stiffer then the front... good to know!

 

tried searching. when it comes to conversion of #s. lets say I found some springs that are 8k rear. and 7k front. what is that in lbs. as in..whats that compared to stock spring rate?
