05 Stock spring rates?
05 Stock spring rates?
Does anyone know what the stock spring rates for a 2005 LX-G Sedan?
This thing sits way too high and i can fit my fist in between the gap. I've had about 2600km on this car so far and the ride is fine. I'm considering of lowering it and if i'm, i would be doing this myself but i'm worried if the ride will become bouncy after lowering. I felt that the shocks were underdampen already during a few drive around the twisties.
Oh forgot to mention, so far i've only looked at Tein S, H tech, Eibach, etc. They give approx .8 - 1.5max which is enough for me, and yes i'm worried if the shocks will become even more underdampen with a shorter and higher spring rate springs. Changing shocks within a year or two would suck, haha and I can't afford Koni inserts
I talk too much again haha.. maybe you guys can help out. Thanks

No one knows the rates. They're progressive, so the rates aren't fixed anyways. The only ones we know are the Si which are 240/450.
Read the FAQ. It lists any rates that are known for lowering springs.
If you can't afford to do it right, then I wouldn't bother, stock shocks will blow.
