Does anybody know what the stock spring rate is for the 1998-2002 Honda Accord? I'm planning to buy a set of Ground controls with custom spring rates and would like to at least match the stock spring rates to give the car a soft ride. Don't really care too much about stiffness, I just want a soft ride, but slammed look.
...Thanks.

The softness you want is exactly what DICTATES the higher ride. If you want a low ride with soft springs you'll be bottomming your suspension all the time. Can't have one without the other. But you can maybe find a compromise somewhere in between. A little stiffer & a little lower than stock?

I understand what you're saying, coz my 96 Integra is setup this way, and I'm fine with it. All I'm asking is if anybody know what the STOCK spring rate is....Thanks for being polite though

front is somewhere around 180, rear somewhere around 140...and the smart comment was more or less an fyi so that you didn't get flamed by the rest of the board buddy...
