Default Best suspension for my "H" set up...????

I have the h22/crx....I havent done a thing to the suspension yet, I have been waiting for some guidence for choosing the right spring suspension combo.

I have taken it out and it smokes the rubber all through 3rd and squeels 4th too...friends say that during speed shifting there is a slam in the front and my rear end bounces like a *****...

What is a good suspension set up and shocks/struts/springs/spring rates??? I call upon your wisdom!!!!!!!!

okay i have never personaly delt with a h22 crx but in the eg we went with tokico illuminas/5way adj. front and rear and the h&r race springs for a 94-00 integra it work really well, then he moved on to some tein coilovers and they where the boab but if ur on a buget i say go tokico shocks there really good IMO

ground control 500 upfront and 400 in the rear is good.

lighten up the front of your car and rewire your battery to the rear. From what I heard an h22 weighs 100ish more lbs than the b series motors. I know someone with an h22 EG that did the same stuff. Jus my .2 cents.

I have already put the Optima battery in the rear(no room in engine bay) I am not sure of the spring rates of the front and rear...if any one has a breakdown of the rates...in conjunction with thier appropriate uses I would be greatfull.

5oo front and 400 rear?? shouldnt it be the other way around??
