Default Rear Drag Launch Springs Only

How can I get 800-1000 lb rear drag launch springs withouht having to buy a set of 4 skunk2 coilovers and then the 900 lb springs or a set of 4 custom rate Ground Control coilovers? All I want are the rears for my 94 Civic hatch.

The Skunk2 springs will only work with coilovers. In order to get the 900 lb Skunk2 springs, you have to have the coilovers first. In order to get the coilovers, you have to order all 4. So you have to spend $300 or so on the coilovers and then another $100 or so on the 2 rear springs. I want to just get the 2 rear coilovers with the drag 900 lb springs already on them OR get 2 900 lb springs that will fit the Tokico shocks I have now.

The springs are too short to fit on the shocks by themselves. The only way to do what I think you are trying to do is to have the spring made with your specs, (rate and length) or buy them used. I doubt anyone will sell you half a kit with what you need.

Yeah, I just talked to my Ground Control distrib. I can get just 2 of the custom rate coilovers. Its exactly half the price.

If you already have some coilover sleeves, then just go to Inlinefour.com...they are like $110....

I don't and didn't want to spend $400+ just to get the rears. Now I'm paying less than $200 shipped for exactly what I wanted. Ground Control
