Here's the official word from Honda on the difference between '03 and '04 coilovers:

http://www.hondanews.com/CatID2066?mid=200...142120&mime=asc


Springs:
- Front: Increased spring rate 6.7%
- Rear: Decreased spring rate 10%

Shock Absorbers
- Tuned for new suspension settings


I've never seen any official numbers on 00-01 to 02-03 coilover changes, just that they were changed.

I read on honda news:

(2000-2003) -> (2004-2007) :
Front spring rate +9%
Rear sring rate -10%
Front bar the same 26.5 x t4.5
Rear bar reduced -1.8x0 (from 27.2xt4.5 to 25.4 x t4.5)
Damper rate change unspecified

2007 -> 2008:
Front Spring rate +7%
Rear Spring rate + 9%
Front bar up 0.7x0.8 (from 25.4 x t4.5 to 27.2 x t5.3)
Rear bar the same
Front damper +10%
Rear damper + 5%

2008 -> 2008 CR
Front spring rate +37%
Rear spring rate +17%
Front bar +1.4x-0.8 (from 27.2 x t5.3 to 28.6 x t4.5)
Rear bar +1.1x0.0 (from 25.4 x t.4.5 tp 26.5 x t4.5)
Front damper +50%
Rear damper +32%


Just curious if anyone knows how much more damping (%) does Koni yellow over the 2007 stock damper?
