Im about to buy a Ground Control coilover setup to use over my stock shocks, what spring rates should I get? I use my R in the street only cause we dont have a track in Malta I want to have a confortable ride... more or less like stock?

 

not sure if you can use stock shocks.. maybe wrong.

They have applications for bilstien, koni, tokico, and kyb's...

 

Call GC and ask them. They'll probably suggest 350f/300r or so.

Wow! Makes me wonder how you know that! Been to Malta? Yes we have still have the George Cross in the flag.

George I want to lower my R a bit maybe 3/4 inch (dont know how much yet). I choose GC cause since they are height adjustable I can decide how much I want to lower. If I change the stock springs to progressive ones the height can't be adjusted. Also I have a problem with my garage... if I go too low my R wont go into the garage.

What rates do you recommend George for since you are the most one on this board who has good knowledge about suspension?

 

I am running 350 f and 450 r. I am also running koni shocks. I like it. Not too harsh for me.

 

Anyone know what are the stock spring rates of GC ?

i've been told the "stock" gc recommendation for "street" integras is 400f/300r.

 

I'm still on Ground Controls, too.

I'd been using 400 F / 500 R, which was pretty decent.

Just finished switch to 500 F / 700 R. Still on stock swaybars.

Remember that you shouldn't go over aroundf 500# with OEM Koni Yello.

george how did you like those rates on the street? did it want to oversteer easily?

Not at all. It was fine driving anywhere.

With the 700# springs, I have to admit I've hit a couple of bumps that've been eye openers.
