What is the brand of springs? 220/140 is extremely soft for lowering springs. This thread has plenty of lowering spring's springrates:

I'm running the Tein S-tech springs from that thread. Koni STR.Ts are designed for stiffer applications; I have STR.Ts in the rear. They feel slightly overdamped, but ride is still very smooth on the highway.
What do you want to know? These springs can be good if you want to retain an OEM-smooth ride, but for hard cornering, you'll want to go stiffer. The Tein S-tech springs are normally smooth, but when you want to take some corners, the springs progress to a stiffer spring rate. eBay springs most likely are not progressive, so go for the brand-name stuff if you want quality.Original-Owner 1991 Honda Accord
