does anyone know H&R race spring rates for CRX's? how about the standard ground-control coilover spring rates?

how about stock CRX spring rates?

i have H&R race springs right now, and im thinking of something a little less harsh, like somewhere in between stock spring rates and H&R race spring rates, for the ground-controls.

thanks

 

i wrote an email to h&r and i was told they were
F 460lbs/inch
R 360lbs/inch

they're progressive springs, im guessing the rate they quoted was average rate or the max rate

 

Both progressive? Im not sure about that. All the spring makers Ive talked to use linear up front and progressive in the rear...

What I learned about springs from an Eibach tech. REALLY GOOD INFO!! 10:52 AM 2/7/2002


First off, I know alot of you might allready know all this...but it might help out some people.
There are two types of springs 1. Progressive, and 2. Linear.
The differences between these two it this...the progressive spring will increse its spring rate as is compresses, for exampe the spring rate might start at 100lbs/sq.in., and once you turn hard into a corner it will start to compress and the spring rate might increase to 240lbs/sq.in.. You get a smooth ride and a tight spring all in one. The progressive type spring dosent work smoothly for all cars though (the 00' passat cant use them because the progressive spring makes it unstable), thats whare the Linear spring comes into play.

The Linear spring is really simple.. It has one spring rate all the time. Usually a linear spring will have one higher rate, such as 250lbs/sq.in.

The EF hatchback uses both.. (Eibach Sportline) A linear spring up front at 274.1lbs/sq.in. and a progressive spring in back at 97.1lbs/sq.in. (inital)___228.4lbs/sq.in.(final)
