GC coil over sping rate with koni adj?/

im in the middle of ordering a set of GC coil overs and it asks what the prefered spring rate is OR give a breif descrition of what you want. i havent actually ordered them yet becuase im not sure to go with what i put or get an actual spring rate.

so far im giving them a breif description of:

Coilover Conversion kit, 86-89 Honda Accord
Shock Type that is on the car: Koni
Desired Spring Rate (If unsure of rate give brief description of expected usage): they are koni adjustable struts going on a daily driver but i want a street/strip feel. i do go to the local track often.

any suggestions??

you need to tell them what kind of handling you expect from the car, and what kind of ride is tolerable to you...

myself I would go with 300 front and 350 rear. It's not ultimately stiff but matched with S/T stabilizer bars it should be optimal for what I do. Commute. :)

thats my own preference.

THANKS! so i got ST sway bars and GC coil overs on the way for my koni adjustables!!! :D :alc:

i would go 350/350 or 350/300

in the accord i wouldnt bother putting stiffer springs on the rear... but matching the rates would be ok i think.

(i have the stock ground controls on my car now (250/350) and its really nice, but the rear could be a bit tighter)

hey, there isnt any "rule of thumb" or anything i should know about putting these copil overs on is there? this will be my first time to put coil overs on. just checking.

not to steal the thread or anything, but i was looking at this setup also and was wondering what the stock spring stiffness is. The stickies just have ohter springs/coilovers % stiffness above stock with no numbers for either.

Stock springs are 211 lbf/in front 117lbf/in rear.
