I'd have to look up the spring rates
But the mounts in the rear are the same as a stock CSM
Ksport is using a spring rate of this for the 88-92 CSMs:

Front Spring Rate KG/LBS: 7.5/ 420
Rear Spring Rate KG/LBS: 5.3/ 297

and this for 92-96 CSMs:

Front Spring Rate (kg/mm)/(lbs/in): 7.5/ 420
Rear Spring Rate (kb/mm)/(lbs/in): 5.3/ 297

Surprise surprise, the same springs for two cars with very different weights to them, as well as weight distribution front to rear.

Are the Evo3 coilovers the exact same dimensions for fitment?
Front strut and rear strut?
Were any changes needed to make them C50 chassis compatible?

The Evo3 was AWD so I figure the rear spring rates and front spring rates are not the optimal frequency for a FWD car, but it's worth a shot to know what they delivered with from Fortune Auto 500.
It's simply a matter of switch out coils for a different spring rate then.
