?Skunk2 vs. Ground Control?
I thought about posting in the marque forums but I thought I might get more of a response here and also help to find the bast place to buy them from. Anyway, my car is a 00 prelude I run the stock 16s and tires in the winter and in the summer I will be running 18" rota subzeros with 215/35/18 tires. I have a mugen body kit so im not that worried about going to low and damaging the kit cause it doesnt hang low. I don't autocross or race or anything. I just want a good dropped look and the ability to adjust em higher for winter and maybe lower if I shwing the car off. Also I have not decided on a shock yet but if my budget permits I will get koni yellows if not prob tokico blues.
if its just for street, either GC or S2 will be suitable. You'll probably want to go with their standard spring rates too... enough to give you a little boost in handling but not enough to make you cringe driving over potholes. As for shocks, I'd consider illuminas or AGXs before blues if you cant afford Konis.
yep I agree, GCs are
in my book, and I don't even own them yet
I'm shooting for 450F/450R this summer, but I'm not entirely sure how it will come out because:
1. Ground Control says the Off-The-Shelf spring rates are 450F/300R
2. They're guessing that the stock spring rates for the 6th gen Accord 4cyl is roughly 210F/190R (no one knows for sure)
3. I've never seen anyone autocross or drive competetively with custom GC rates on a 6th gen Accord, so I don't know how much oversteer/understeer I'll have with 450 all aorund :dunno:
I guess it's going to be a trial-and-error thing for me, and I would like to see how a 23mmR/27mmF set of swaybars would come into play (stock is 16R/26.2F)...

I wouldn't worry about it too much... the "stock" rates for 5g civics are something like 375f/250r... understeer-tastic. I'm perfectly happy with my 380f/400r setup.
I think w/ adjustable shocks, an even f/r ratio would probably work pretty well on your car. If not, new springs are cheap
