Hi folks-

I've done a good amount of reading. Here's what I'm looking for
* About a 1-1.5" drop
* better handling for daily driving, the occasional trip to the drag trip, etc..not any auto-x at the time but maybe later
* aggressive spring rates- but not too "soft" not too "killer"- I also don't want to create excessive understeer or oversteer
* I'd like to avoid excessive tire wear (too much negative camber)

Here's basically what I've winded it down to..

Eibach Pro-Kit 331 lb/in F ... 126 to 194 lb/in R
Tein S-Tech Soft 145 to 335 lb/in F.....67 to 273 lb/in R
ITR springs 246 lb/in F.......140 to 246 lb/in R
Comptech springs 331 lb/in F.....126 to 194 lb/in R

I've ruled out H&R Sports because from what I've been reading, they are too soft, sag too low, and the spring rates aren't too great for now low it is.
I think i'd be running on KYB AGX's or Koni Yellows (used)
ITR springs look like an attractive choice but don't lower the car enough

So I think that leaves us down to s-tech soft, prokit, or comptech.
I'd like to hear from people who actually have these setups or experience with them- No "hearsay" please. This topic has been discussed a number of times, and people consistently put in what "they’ve heard from their boys.."

Lets try to come to a consensus on a clear winner for this category. I'm hoping this will help others looking for something similar..FYI I'm on 16" wheels.

Thanks,

Rubens

 

Out of those choices, I would personally pick the Tein's due to their spring rates.

You may want to consider a coilover sleeve, due to the fact you can pick your spring rate and you can set your own height.

So if you want 1" drop with 300f-600r, you can do that with GC's.

Unfourtunately, cost is a major concern of mine

 

The Integra I picked up last night has the following:

Ground Controls Special Edition
Tokico Illuminas 5way adjustables
Ingals Camber Correction kits

All I can say is WOW! I was seriously in shock when I drove it 150 miles home and hardly felt bumps in the road. I had some cheaper coil sleeves and konis on my Si and it was bullshit compred to the GC/Illuminas.

 

I have tokico adjustables and bilstein shocks. I can definetely feel almost everything on the road, which I like. But when I turn it feels more like a glide than a turn and the car sticks to the road. I love it except for when im on really bumpy roads.

 

Once I get a teg the first thing I am doingis getting uber good suspension. I need a smooth ride!

Good idea though bro

How much do you have to work with?

 

No more than $500.
I can pick up some used yellows + A pro-kit or s-tech softs for around that much probably. I'd rather have used yellows than new AGX's i think.

 

Don't forget you are going to need an alignment.

 

Yeah, I have more than that but would like to spend around $500 + alignment..

 

nuespeed sports on KYB AGX thats what I run looks good not too low but deffinently noticable, and MUCH better handling(when on setting 4)or you can make it real soft and run on the 1st setting.

 

FYI, I've decided on some Koni Yellows and Eibach Prokit.
