^ I think they're fine but not my first choice.

Oops, I can't find the spring rates for the HKS either.

I found this:

F=50(5.1)/R=64(6.5)

in kg/mm. What is that in lb/in?

Multiply by 55.88.

Front: 5.1 x 55.88 = 285
Rear: 6.5 x 55.88 = 363

Feel free to add this to page 1.

so someone correct me if i'm reading the front page wrong... but from my interpretation, besides the kg/mm springs, the CR spring are the stiffest out there? so would that mean that the CR would be the best bang-for-your-buck springs to "slap" on to the car?

man, im confused with espelir and swift. it says that the rear springs have a bigger drop than the fronts. so, front sits higher than the rear? thats annoying!!
