Based on this info, the new civic has good weight distribution. it was not nessacery to put to heavy springs in the rear to make the car rotate. I cant wait, looks good too!

Those rims are not that pretty though

. But seriously, this is one of hte first hondas with such good wieght distribution. I can only imagine this car stripped and ready for the track :). The subframe and frame are amazing to what I read.

OK guys,

To be honest, those rates aren't *that* aggressive especially considering the weight of the car (especially the Si)... However, the motion ratios are much improved on the new 2006 Civic, they are now basically 1:1 so a 390 lb./in. spring rate is going to act like 390 lb./in; at least relative to autocrossing they aren't stiff enough.

As for weight distribution, most FWD cars are carrying 59-62% of their weight over the front wheels... The new 2006 Civic is no exception. It's polar moment is improved, and the fast steering ratio helps that along, but you'll never see a FWD car sporting a 50-55% front weight bias, and you wouldn't want to either! Traction coming off corners would suck.

The real question to ask is: Has anyone cornerweighted a bone stock 2006 yet though?

AND

Since we're on the topic, what is the rate of the OEM Si spring? I have an LX Coupe that since I'm running in Stock, I can't change the OEM springs. But the Si fronts are 17% stiffer and the rears are 14% stiffer. If I can get hold of those numbers, I can figure out what rates my LX Coupe has.
