I think this thread is really bad anyways if you got some crazy idea about reversing your springs that just go do it don't ask people about it I mean if you heard people do it for autox and that is what you are going to do then try it out but don't come on here asking people for specific numbers and getting technical about spring ratings because half the time no one knows what they are talking about, if I were you put the damn springs on backwards and then if you hit a tree than thats your fault.
Case closed I am outty on this thread no more conversation from me Later
as i said before, having a higher spring rate in the rear of a fwd car is standard practice for autocross racers of all levels, and anyone who wants a street car to have more neutral or loose handling. some drivers prefer a car that slides at the limit, and in auto-x, its a necessity to maintain speed through the tight corners. i could honestly care less how many years you've worked at honda, because honda as a company doesnt know jack about or want anything to do with the heavy modifications people do to their cars. nor does working with or at a dealership say ANYTHING to your knoweldge of racing and modifying honda's- i cannot count the number of times dealership personelle- many certified honda mechanics, not parts counter morons, telling me information that was, to say the least, absolute bullshit. no matter which way you spin it, or you pump up yourself on this board, you are wrong. cars with 400/500 or similar spring rates do NOT dive under braking like you claim, it does NOT distroy the car, and it does NOT cause the handing to go to s**t. if you had EVER attended a single auto-x race with honda civics/integras present, you would know that combination is very popular and a requirement for a good lap time. i have a very low tolerance for people who pass bad information on my board, if you had any sort of prescident, fact, information, etc to back up your claim, i wouldnt mind your ignorace, however, you have NOTHING but your own unfounded claims based on the opinions of others with zero experience in the field. you should take your own advice, which i have emboldened for you- get out of this thread, you have no place in it, or you will be removed from it, and this board. physical threats are not tolerated here, it serves no purpose besides making yourself look petty and immature, along with degrading the integrity of my site. you have already been warned, this is your last.
