Default Ordered my ground controls.

ordered them today. 400/500 spring rates. it might sound high, but the accord is heavier than your everyday civics. the springs with those rates are on backorder untill april 2nd, so looks like i won't have them by the first ODR event. oh well, hopefully i'll have them on by the next VMSC event.

cheers to better handling

slim... you need to decide what you want the car to do. "Custom" rates dont do anything special if they are to stiff for your shocks. I asume that you are using the GC setup for your year Civic. The Tokico shocks are OK for street driving with slightly stiffer springs but to go to a race setup you will need Koni's and to go with a track (roadcourse) setup you will need to have them revalved.

The key thing is to decide what you want to do with the car. Your setup is probably OK for daily driving, and AutoX. Tires are more important than suspension if you are looking at getting into AutoX.

Its just my oppinion...
