Bilstein PSS9 springs help PLEASE
Been searching all over for this with nothing. Trying to get diff spring rates because the ones that come with it is too soft for hpde driving. I'm a noob when it comes to this. Does anybody here know the spring length and I.D. that'll fit so i know what to order. If you have the helper spring specs that'll be great too. Thanks in advance.

The tender springs are 85lbs for the front and 135lbs for the rear per bilstein for PSS's a few years back.
I think 8" springs should work, I was using 7" 12/10kgmm springs without tender springs and was close to the top of the damper for adjustment range. You might be limited on how high you can get the car meaning you might not be able to reach stock height.
Are you using Honda bump stops or bilstein ones. I used honda bump stops, since they put quite a bit more effort into the design.
This is just guess work from the limited info I have.

Sounds like 7" with the tender springs on 9k/8k should work, if 7" without tender springs worked on 12k/10k. A 500 lb spring should compress a little more than an inch less than a 350 lb spring, assuming a 700 lb corner weight. I'm considering doing the same with some PSS9's, and using 500/450 spring rates until its time for a revalve and a move up to 700/600 … simply because these suckers are so hard to find used.

I believe it was khaosman who runs the 70mm id swift springs in the 6 inch length and reports of no problems with the coils binding into eachother. He autoxs fairly regularly as well.
