Default Hayame coilover spring replacement ej8/em1

Hey everyone... I'll start this thread with.. I have Hayame coilovers... yes "Hayame" pretty old school right ? LOL!

Well I bought the car with it and the struts are in perfect condition car was garage kept and still under 100k miles on body and under 25k on coilovers except the springs.. The bottom part has some rust on it and would like to replace it.. with a stiffer spring as well.. I was looking at swift springs but they don't make springs for 99 civic coupe. I track my car every month for reference

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance!

Measure your springs. Buy a replacement spring in the rates you want in that size. Eibach, Hyperco, swift, h&r, etc all make springs that are broken down by diameter and length measurements. Then you pick a rate.

You sure those shocks can handle higher rates?
