Default Eibach Springs

I posted this in teh civic 92+ forum and it was obvious nobody knew, but what are the road race springs? stiffer than sportlines or softer, i want something pretty stiff for auto-x, but my car is also my daily driver so it can't be insane stiff

Link as proof

Call them up, but I can tell you they will not be comfortable on the street Most road racing springs are around 600-1000 ft/lbs. My STS setup is 350f/400r and it's pretty stiff.

Yes spring rates do come in different rates between front and rear from factory. But usually the stiffer spring is up front (due to more weight of the engine) and softer in the rear to make the ride somewhat comfortable.

I have stiffer springs in the rear to get the car to rotate a little since the car is setup stock to understeer. Rotating a car into a corner makes the car corner get around that turn quicker.
