stock suspension
does anybody know what would be the stock spring rate on a 2002 civic sedan
lx? Is 150/150 pretty close? All I'm getting of google is that such and such aftermarket spring would be stiffer than....bla bla bla..... but I just can't find the actual specs. Honda doesn't seem to know or give out that info as well. Wierd. thanks for your help Frank |

Why? If you do that you get the car handling and sitting exactly the same way it does as stock but with the potential problem of the springs not lasting as well as the OEM ones. If you are trying to save money buy buying pattern springs then why bother to save so little? It could be that the reason you haven't found any specs are that the spring manufacturers have decided the market is too small to bother with (for the return on investment) and so stick with lower ride height/stiffer springs instead as that's what most people expect from aftermarket springs. With suspension unless you are modifying it in a specific way replace with OEM parts every time and always do both sides of the car simultaneously e.g. if you have a broken spring then change both sides on that axle, same with dampers or struts.
