Q<br />
What’s up Super Street! I have read your<br />
magazine long before I even had a car, but<br />
enough of the brown nosing and down to<br />
business. I have a ‘96 Honda Civic with an H22A. I<br />
would like to do a nice shock/spring combo. However,<br />
I know that the H-series weigh more and need a<br />
stiffer spring rate. What can I get that will lower it<br />
to a good stance and improve handling?<br />

This is a great question. Most people that<br />
have done swaps don’t keep in mind the<br />
added weight to the front end. This is<br />
really important when you start tracking your<br />
car. The best thing to do is get a set of coilovers<br />
and have the car corner weighed. Most coilover<br />
companies allow you to order specifi c spring<br />
rates too, so you can choose whatever you’re<br />
comfortable with. If you can’t afford a full<br />
body coilover, Ground Control’s kits are a<br />
popular alternative. You can easily order<br />
Eibach springs in different rates from them<br />
as well.<br />
