will putting cb7 wagon springs on the sedan make the suspension stiffer

[batever]

and is it possible.

My springs are shot and I'm not planning on lowering the car but maybe getting a slightly stiffer than stock suspension. I was thinking the wagon springs and appropriate shocks would do the trick.

I imagine they are somewhat stiffer and have a slightly higher spring rate.

Also, would it increase the ride height? Which I wouldn't want.

any thoughts?

bump.

dont know homes

Does anyone know the specs on the wagon springs vs the stock springs, or where I could look to find them?

you know this is a forum, not a chat room right? you posted this 6 hours ago and you've already bumped it twice. and no, i dont believe the suspension is any different from the wagon to the sedan/coupe, but majestic honda lists two different part numbers for the wagon and sedan coupe rear spring.

I found this from http://www.accordwagonclub.com/forum...php?f=7&t=3151

According to the MVMA specs, the spring rates for the 1995 Accord Wagon
were:
front - 205 #/in
rear - 129 #/in

The spring rates for the 4th gen is probably similar.

ride height from wiki
1990-91 Coupe: 53.9 in(1369 mm)
1990-91 Sedan: 54.7 in (1389 mm)
1991 Wagon: 55.1 in (1400 mm)
1992-93 Coupe: 52.2 in (1326 mm)
1992-93 Wagon: 53.2 in (1351 mm)
1992-93 Sedan: 52.8 in (1341 mm)

1) Thanks for the info about the part #s, steelbluesleepR.

2) Sorry to offend, but just to set the record straight, this post was up 36 hours before I bumped it (I posted it one night and bumped it the next night's early morning I think) and I only bumped it because it fell off the first page and I thought it might get lost. My second post was not another "bump" in my mind but a separate question intended to come off as "if no one knows the info off the top of their head, then do you know where I might look it up/find more information?" Since I've never bumped a thread before, I'm not sure about the etiquette involved but it seems like 36 hours is reasonable. If I'm wrong about that I'm willing to be corrected.

Thanks for the info on the spring rates and ride heights, as well as the source/citation, bjcammerx.

I guess I also need to find out the spring lengths and well as their rate of compression if I'm to figure out how putting them in might affect the ride height of my sedan. I don't want to raise the ride height any.

Do you know what "MVMA" stands for? That might come in handy.

For the $$$ and effort, you might as well get Eibach Pro Kits or Neuspeed Sof Sports.

Thanks, I'll look into that as well.
