Whats up, I am a new-bee, what or how do you guys suggest I lower my car?
I have a 2000 Integra LS, I have heard alot of things, positive and negative about coil overs, adjustables, etc. But all the people that have told me these things do not own an Integra, and never had, what do you guys suggest? I want to get at least a 2.5 drop with whatever I decide to go with. I realize that I am going to need a camber kit and that the lower I go, the more bouncy my car will be with whatever I decide to go with, but I figure I will ask you guys since all have had or have an Integra. Please help a fellow Teggy owner out!

welcome...
get H&R Springs, KYB(or whatever you like) shocks for a simple drop.
Once you really decide if you want "better" performance from your suspension
then get something like the JIC, or N1 dampers..
Oh and dont forget the button at the top right hand corner...its called "Search"

I prefer coilovers over springs because I can adjust my ride height to exactly how I want it. With springs you are stuck with whatever height they are made for.

Welcome....Clean Ride, Keep it that way!!
I would say go with GC coils/KYB shocks. Its realitively inexpensive and a good buy.
Basically Coils tend to be more bouncy and give a harder/and or more uncomfortable ride, but are better than springs IMO b/c you can adjust the ride height in a matter of an hour or less.
I have eibach springs and Tockico blues and the ride is very comfortable, but the front is about as high as the back .
Like previously stated, search more, take your time, and you will get the suspension your really after. Also a word of advice: NOONE here is reluctant to answer questions that you may have, but do some work yourself and search and with that you will get answers

welcome.....
it all depends what you budget is. i'd go with a full coilover suspension.
choose wisely and go with an application your trying to go for, street, track, ect.

Koni Yellows/Ground Controls is a good combo that has ride height and dampening adjustability. Also, you can get your Koni's revalved and have a million mile warrenty from Eibach for the GC's.

Yeah, I was thinking Tein, but I was quoted $1,430 for front and rears, not installed. Is that the going price for them nowdays? I may go with the H&R, but I am told that they will only give me a 1.5 drop, but the store where I might get it done at also has a race package (springs) that will give me a 2.5 drop, new shocks, and camber kit installed for $1,200 out the door.

Clip your springs Nah man, try searching, tons of threads on this and the different ways you can do this. Also, lots of reviews on specific brands. It all depends on your application. But for a daily driven application, I would suggest koni yellows and ground control adjustables
