What'd you do to your accord today?

[20-CG5-01]

Finished installing my 12kg swift springs in the front and removing the old 6kg rears and replaced them with 8kg. Yes they ride great! Took about 2 hours to do everything. Rears took the longest since I had to remove + disassemble the whole shock to replace the springs.

Letting the front settle in for about 2 weeks then I'm lowering it more and getting my alignment done.

Here are some pictures.

Question. How'd you know which springs were the correct replacement?

All springs read the same, whether it is swift, hypercoil, eibach, megan, etc...

I'll give you eibach for example.

800.250.450

8" in spring length
2.5" diameter (can also be 65mm)
450 lbs/in

You wanna go lower, you have to get shorter springs.

You want more kg, you have you have to get more lbs/in

### lbs/in to kg/mm will give you the kg of the rates.

Just google. 650lbs/in to kg/mm to approx the kg, should be near 12.xxxxx

Hypercoil and swift already has their info on their catalog.

5-10" springs
60mm/65mm/70mm
4kg-32kg

My swift spring is stammped 120 which means 12kg

I meant what diameter and length do you need for ground control... I understand the rest haha so it's 2.5", does it have to be in a certain length too? Just wondering

2.5" or 65mm diameter will with out GC sleeves with no problem.

Free length of the spring can be anything

Sweet. Just curious, did you ever have problems with the UCA hitting when you had the 8kg springs in the front?

Nice man. Have any pics of the ride height with the new 12kg springs?

It's the same for now until I let the sprinfs settle in for a week or 2.

I tried to set it as the lowest setting and it was 22.5" all around which is perfect for me and what I was looking for. I'm still at 23.25" all around for now though.
