Ground control coil-overs & KYB AGX's...tried and true. The set-up set me back about $600, and they ride really nice.

Re: best way to lower my ride (turbo4racing)

you are reffering to camber and toe.

I suggest you purchase GroundControls and KOni yellows(if you have the funds)/KYB AGX if you are on a low budget. It will ride and handle great. if you just want to lower it for looks, then go to pepboys and buy a grinder. cut your springs or buy some APC coil over sleeves.

Re: best way to lower my ride (turbo4racing)

A nice and well handling set-up will be Integra Ground Controls and KYB AGXs. The rates on the springs are relatively soft and the AGXs are a good damper for a good cost. Go for it.

After you put that on, have the car aligned, you'll want the toe set to 0 all around or maybe 1/16th" or an 1/8th" toe oue in front if you autox or road race. Camber isn't a big deal until you're dropped around 3".

KYB AGXs are a adjustable shock so you can adjust how stiff they are they have them at tirerack.com for pretty cheap

What can happen to your car with sub-par coilovers??
