Default higher spring rate?

i drive a 99 civic HB w/ quite a few mods.
complete list is @ http://64.233.207.13/~citrek/ek_mods.htm

but i'll fill you in with the neccessary information to answer my question.

suspension = CTR 5 Lug setup, Tanabe Sustec Pro SS Coils w/ Pillow *****, Skunk2 front camber, ingalls rear camber, Skunk2 F/R strut bars, Skunk2 rear tie, Megan racing rear LCA's, 00 Si front lca's, forks, 26mm sway, some ES bushings.

motor = b18c5

i currently have the springs on that came with my sustec pro ss coils, but want something higher. do i have to go with a tanabe spring? do they offer a higher spring rate? i bought the setup for the 92-00 civic and what came on it was their PRO210 ( http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs/pro210.asp ). things just feel too squishy for me at times.

Default Re: higher spring rate? (citrEK)

The link shows a spring with flat ground tails so once you measure your spring Inside Diameter and if it matches to the commonly available 2.5 inch, 60mm or 2.25 inch ID springs, then you should be able to find Eibach ERS, H&R or Hyperco springs to go with them. If the springs have an odd ID and can' use one of the commonly available ones, they you will need to follow the Tanabe route.
