I want to know what all u experts reccomend for spring rates for hybrid swaps in a Civic hatchback. B18, B20, and yes the H22. Thanks.

I say get a set of coilover for a Teg and drop it in your civic. Just make sure that you get aftermarket struts with that. If you can shell out more $$$, then get a "real" coilover system like those that are made by Tein, H&R, Tanabe, Apex, ground control, etc.

yes i agree with u about getting real coilovers. I am thinking about going with TEIN Type Flex coilovers, but I was curious what u would reccomend for spring rates considering the characteristics of the car is going to change drastically with my H22 in it. I know that I will need to at the very least increase the spring rates in the rear cuz the H22 will induce some serious understeer. Thinking about 504 pounds in the front (stock spring rates on the front for the Type Flex system), and 400-450 pound springs for the rear.

a rear sway and quaife lsd will help out with the understeer as well.

i'd go with full coilovers too. i know ground control makes a limited edition coilover for civics with h22's and b18's in them.

if you go rear sway:
dont go massive and get a beaks (or better) kit to reinforce the subframe
