Does anybody know the spring rates for the Neuspeed Race springs for the EG chassi? TIA

 

'96-00 Civic rates are 485f/395r, so the '92-95 rates are probably similar if not the same.

Sounds about right.

I emailed them about the Race and the Sport spring rates a couple weeks ago. If anyone cares the Sports rates are 230F/130R. Hope that helps.

Did he happen to mention whether they were progressive or linear rates?

I know Neuspeed Sports are progressive, but many "race" springs are linear so I was wondering which type the Neuspeed Race springs are . . .

 

I'm pretty sure the race springs are progressive.

Really? Stiffer up front Vs. the rear? That seems odd.

 

He did not mention whether they were progressive or linear. I did just email him again with that question and will post the response as soon as I get one. I believe they are linear. I had them on an EK hatch I used to own and they never seemed to change from rock hard, so I wouldn't think they were progressive. I also wouldn't think there would be a difference between the EK and EG in that regard. I could be full of crap, though. We'll find out.

I personally don't think so.

I really don't know of any aftermarket suspension kits that come with stiffer rear rates as default. Just about every kit out there has stiffer front rates for safety purposes. Most people aren't smart or skilled enough to daily drive a neutral-handling or oversteer-biased car on the street.

They`ll still be progressive.

That's a great point, and I honestly hadn't thought about it in that regard.

So it turns out I'm not full of crap after all!

 

I swear when i bought the race springs for my hatch they were advertised as progressive. Hmmm..
