Using Honda springs for coil overs

[Ivan141]

If the diameter fits, I dont see any reason why you shouldn't use it.
Although your rant just reads like a load of excuses for using cut springs :wink:

The main thing with cut springs is that you should make sure you dont have a pointy bit sticking out where you cut it methinks. Bend a bit flat, or cut it horizontally.

The bit about 4.8 kg/mm only being good for mum's matress is complete BS offcourse (unless you have a 500kg big momma).
8kg/mm is imho a retarded springrate for a light car, and only fit for drifters that want to do away with any suspension behaviour, and GT racers running serious downforce. 5 kg/mm is about the max rate I'd aim for in a streetcar.
I would advise starting with 6 kg/mm, since you can always cut off more, adding it back is impossible.

So... go do it and report back the results. 11$ springs are worth the experiment.
