jta is an unknown quantity at this point
Different spring drop rates?

Can we install different spring drop rates, on civic's '02 sedan?

Also can they be from different manufacturer? For example Neuspeed (1.75") front, and H&R (1.5") rear?

Thank you.

mixing different progressive spring rates is generally a bad idea... simply because as they compress the two different springs will increase their spring rates at different rates... which can cause some "interesting" handling chariteristics....
