Does anyone know what the stock spring rates are on the CRX Si? Thanks in advance.

 

approximately 250f/150r, rear is progressive so its a range, but around 150.

 

Thanks.

 

along the lines of the original question, what are some popular spring rates for coilovers for CRX's?

 

Depends on what your looking for, just to lower for a daily driver I think there around 350 but I'm going to go 450f/900r because mine is for drag racing and only see's the street once in a great while

 

What spring rates should I get?

I'm planning on running the H&R Race Springs with Tokicko blues and Suspension Techniques sways. The H&R's are rated at 470lb/in front and 360lb/in for the rears. They were the stiffest "spring" ie. not coilover setup that I was able to find. I think those rates will work well for autocross and street, any opnions?

470 is a little high for Tokico blues, you'll need revalved Koni's for that. Anything over 400 should use revalved Koni's.

anybody know what the spring rate is for the Eibach ProKit?

 

I'm not sure what the rate for the CR-X is, when I called Eibach they didn't have a listing for the rex spring rates. The Integra kit is 335LB front and progressive from 125-195LB for the rear. I'm ASSuming that the rates will be higher on the Integra kit than the CR-X kit.

 

I always thought the front spring rates were higher in the front than the rear... I guess I was wrong

Is that to give more understeer from factory?

 

I am running 350F/ 400R GCs and it was tail happy.

The weight distribution is toward the front of the car so the springs need to be stiffer to compensate for that.
