Some people have told me that H&R makes springs for Neuspeed. The car will be used for race purposes, and the Neuspeeds have higher spring rates. What do ya'll think?

 

neuspeed race springs have 575f/540r spring rates...for 88-91 civic/crx

 

Neuspeed makes thier own now, but H&R used to make them for them.

That being said, I think you'll be much happier with the handling that the H&Rs will give you. Assuming you pick a decent set of struts to go with it.

I just wouldn't use the race springs on a street car.

 

Race springs arent that bad on the streets, especially if you use a performance strut. They dont ride nearly as rough as sleeve style coilovers!

 

Anyone else have any ideas

 

I have H&R Race:

They are 450F 360R.
Neuspeed Race are 575F 540R.

I called everywhere getting as much info as I could about H&R, Neuspeed, and Koni. I made sure everything was compatible. Koni can handle 500-600 pounds of spring stock, after that, they are rec'd to be revalved. It depends on what you want.

I spoke to a rep at H&R, and I asked him "When did you guys stop making Neu. springs?" He replied "We didn't, we designed them, I actually designed them."

Who knows if true, guy was nice though.

If I could, I'd combo them. 575F 450R, only if I was road racing- which would never happen. Too broke.

 

Anybody know how high of a spring rate Bilstein shocks can handle? I'm looking at these two options as well, and I don't want to buy new chocks. Thanks -
