Default Ground control coilovers 330F/600R

so i bought a used set of these, and from what i converted

one set (rears i think) is 6 inches long with 600LB weight

one set(fronts i think) is 7.87 inches long with 330LB weight

is 330F/600R ok?
or should i use the 6in 600LB F / 7.87in 330LB R

wat you guys think?

itll be on a D16y7/8 98 LX sedan with future plans of Turbo

that's an odd set up choice imo I guess for street driving it doesn't matter as much for the handling as oppose to time attack/auto x. I'd leave the rears at 600 maybe get some 500+ fronts tho.

so i called GC directly, and i guess its 8inches long, 2.5 diameter, 340LB spring

i guess ima just put the 340 F / 600 R

itll be for street driving with lots of heavy Equipment in the trunk so i think itll be ok

for what i apdi, 80 BUCKS! i aint complainin!!

600R? Back surgery costs more than $80.

What shocks are you planning to use? This is going to be awful lol.

$80 to ruin ride and handling? Leaving it alone is free. That's a $80 savings.

"Hey...I wasn't hungry, but that spoiled meat was only $2!" is an example of a bad decision as well.

That's not why you'd get 11K rear lol with my AMR coils I run 11K rears and 14K fronts but that's for a time attack car...not DD.

sell them it's not the fact that they're 600 but more so you'll be running 350 in the front that's super unbalanced typically the rear is softer...

You're going to blow those semi expensive Konis using a 600LB spring. You need better damping at 600lbs/in. I think Konis max out at 500...and that seems sketchy.

The back of a civic coupe weighs about 515LB per corner. Just for reference.

I wouldn't use that spring combo. You can always buy 2 more 380LB springs. They're cheap. 350F and 380R is a great combo. Sell the 600LB springs to someone who has 500LB fronts.
