What springs match the stock shock's spring rate?
Are there any springs out there that match the stock shock's spring rate?
The reason I ask is because when I was at Acura today looking at their lowered RSXs, they said that it wouldn't be bouncy with the stock shocks because the spring rates on the lowering springs are the same as the shocks.
Is there any truth to that?

you should ask what springs they used... maybe they were talking about like a performance package? cause i know honda offered a lowered suspension. they used better shocks with their lowering springs...
but ya there really isnt any lowered springs that are "matched" to stock springs.. anytime you lower the car its recommened you get aftermarket shocks designed for lower.. HOWEVER best bet would be eibach prokit or h&r sports.. their spring rates are the closest to stocks. but then again why spend $200 to lower the car when you cant even tell its lowered...
