Hey, guys. I recently purchased some Ground Control springs with spring numbers GC230.64.55 and GC230.64.49. My question is, which ones go to the front and which ones for the back? Also, will they be good for my car according to their spring rates? I own a '95 Civic CX Hatch.

 

Plug the numbers into Google. If they are all the same length then it all depends. If you want understeer the higher rates go in front and vice versa if you want over steer.

 

They are all the same length (9 inches). What are good spring rates for front and back for a good nice smooth ride for DD?

 

Smooth is subjective so I cannot answer, Anyone that does is only telling you what is good for them. Otherwise I'm going to tell you to stick with stock. And I don't understand the need to question rates if you've already bought the springs.

 

Well, I pulled a nooby move and bought the springs before really studying about spring rates and all that so I just wanted to know if these will ride well or not :/

 

Put them on and find out.

 

Have to wait til' this weekend since my Koni Yellows won't be coming in til Friday but you're right about that. Hope they will be comfortable..

 

Also, does anybody know if GC coilover springs are compatible with other types of coilover sleeves? Meaning sleeves and adjusting ring are not from ground control but another brand? Or are they only made to specifically fit their own?

 

Anyone know?

 

why would you put GC springs on some other kind of sleeve?

 

Because I got just the springs for a good deal without the GC sleeves so I thought about putting them on these other sleeves I have on my Civic right now. Know if it'll work?

 

Sure.

 

try it? Or just buy a full legit set from GC with your own spring rates. Shouldn't have purchased a half set IMO

 

You're right about that. Lol. Just tried to switch everything over to GC strut and stock top hat won't fit cause hole is too small. I believe the coil sleeve should fit though. Now time to look for GC top hats. Know where I can find some other than the site itself?

 

amazon? Craigslist? Ebay?

 

I was asking more like other good webstores that sell them but thanks for the all the info so far!

 

none that i know of. Maybe Thmotorsports.com

 

Contact GC and see about getting the parts you are missing.

 

I've used GC springs on Maxspeed sleves before. Got some Maxspeed c/o's and didnt like the ride on them... few months later found the GC springs in my shead but couldnt find the sleves so i installed them and worked just fine...
