for the record my race car is currently sitting on cut springs the rates were measured and are 200 and 250 front and rear

 

approx how much do you think the spring rate will increase per coil i remove?

also the rear spring is the taller one right?

I was just thinking maybe i should install both EK front and rear springs in the car and cut them so the car sits where i want it to and then i could sell the aftermarket springs and get some money for the B18A1 project

 

yes the more coils = lower spring rate....

as for how it changes I have no Idea the exact relationship I can't fidn the equation

 

If your car has koni reds I believe it will have the metal(silver) spring perch which is removable

Take the shock out remove the perch and you can see a clip which the spring perch sits on. That clip sits in a machined groove. If you take the shock to a machine shop they can stick the shock in a lathe and cut you a lower groove should cost like $40 and take 15min.

 

hmm ill check that option out too, thanks for hte info

 

during the summer i cut my oem springs because im really cheap, i cut two coils of each spring. People said my car would ride like **** but it was actually pretty decent, it was only a little more bumpy'er then stock and and alot smother then my buddys integra with lowering springs. Now if your serious and go to the track its a little differnt then u need the good stuff.
and its a civic, not a s2000

 

Why not save your coin, save your time and trouble of all that work that you could screw up and end up with a **** job and a bouncy ride and get a good coil over kit.. then you've got the look plus the braggin rights.. It's one thing to say you cut the springs and threw a coffee can on the back.. It's another thing to say you went out and got a set of full adjustable Eibach's with a 1.5" drop and a coffee can on the back.. :P just my opinion though..

 

my good car has Progress Full coilovers on it, i dont feel like doing that kinda thing twice. I wanna see what i can do for my beater car without spending huge amounts of money.
