I'm looking to get a stiffer spring for my type 1's. The current springs are too soft and cause my suspension to compress a ton on the big dips at speed. Im looking for what alternative spring there are for type 1's. Also I could you some input on what kg I will need to run to achieve a stiff ride up front.

The car looks nice at this ride height, but with the 17's and stretched tires, my oil pan is begging for something stiffer. (and a skid plate!)

get new suspension. stiffer rates on type ones will blow the struts fast. if you want better suspension get at LEAST type 2s. Or if you want better than that get BC racing with extreme low kit and swift springs

Very true! I didn't even think of the extra stress on the struts! I might look into the type twos as an option then.

I thought you can't change out the springs on type 1's? I have the type 2's and also am interested in changing out the springs on my coils

On my ksports you can go +/- 2k without re valving them. I ordered new swift springs on my accord ksports went from 12/7 to 14/10
