HI guys,

Its been 3 years with the car and now its going back to honda. Im installing my stock springs and taking out the espilers. However, I forgot which springs belong on the front vs. the back. I have a 2003 s2k, and I read somewhere that the 00-01 is softer in the front and the 02-03 is firmer in the front.

I just want to clarify if that info is correct. I can tell that there are two springs firmer when squeezing than the other two, so I assume that goes in the front...

Thanks guys!!!! ITs been fun!

Also, there are three colored dots on each set of springs.

THere are 3 blue dots on two of them and on the other two springs are a blue, orange, blue dot.

 

all blues in front...
I did a search last month when I did the exact same thing.

 

The myth has been debunked. Not only are MY02-03 rear springs still stiffer than front, they're still stiffer (+3.3%) than MY00-01 rear springs.

MY00-01 spring rates:
-- Front: 219 lb/in blue/blue/red
-- Rear: 291 lb/in blue/red/red
MY02-03 spring rates:
-- Front: 230 lb/in blue/blue/blue
-- Rear: 300 lb/in blue/red/blue

 

thanks for the info, i actually found it not too long ago
i forgot to update but yah thanks! front two are done, now onto the hard part!

 

Seems odd that the rear is stiffer than the front. Any ideas why Honda setup the car this way?

Yes, I just found that thread and am looking over it now.
