so confused

Mr. HuMpY · Jun 7, 2011

So bought some sleeves but I'm confused as to should I the higher spring rate in front or should I put in the back.

Bc I was told that the higher spring rate should be put in the rear. Idk why.

So if someone help me out. Thanks

Umm, usually you put the higher spring rate up front, since the front is heavier than the back. That's how all of the coilovers are.

^most coils are like that. the closest i've seen is the same spring rate...never higher in the rear though.

Yeah, I've seen once with same spring rate, but never higher one in the back.

Btw, who told you that the higher one should go in the back?

Well I think I got confused with adjustable dampers bc my cuzen was saying something like its should be stiffer in the back or something like that.

So higher spring rate in front and lower in the back. Plus I got one thing what the hell is a bump stop on the strut

Yes, higher up front, and lower in the back. Also the damper stiffness same way, usually stiffer in the front and softer in the back.

Bump stop is a rubber thing prevents your shock going all the way down and from damaging the shock.

Your cousin needs to be slapped with a cactus if he said the rear needs to be stiffer springs. Unless you got a mid-engine accord or a spare engine sitting in the trunk there is no reason lol

^lol

The bump stop is that tiered rubber bushing. If you hit it, you'll know.

You can run higher rates in the rear if you want. Lots of people that track their FWD cars do this so that they can get their cars to rotate easier. If you take it on the street though it'll ride like *** since there's hardly any weight in the rear compared to the front.

put sand bags in the rear and run 20k
