is the back of integra just naturally higher than the front, or is ur back on ur car lower than the front by just looking at it, cuz i want the cars height to match all the way.

I didn't want to come off as a ******* or anything its just i like them low....i know you cant go to low with the da cause there are issues with the front upper control are hitting. but if you are alomst right on the money you should be ok.... mine is slammed and haven't had any probs.... but if your not used to driving a low car or you have difficult places to get to or go i would just go with the 1.5/1.75 drop and a real good set of shocks.... or maybe coil over shock combo.... and the white da is clean.... looks like my old one....

1.5" drop is NOT enough on a DA, u will have tons of ugly wheel gap...trust me

however, you will not scrape with 1.5" drop. at all, being that your car will still look and feel close to stock height....u can roll over speed bumps and down driveways head on like a 4x4 all day

drop your DA at least 2.5" for a 1 finger gap all around or a 3" drop for no gap...you will have to learn to drive a little more carefully such as sideways on speed bumps and driveways

2" drop is okay, its a 2 finger gap exactly...here is a pic of my 2" drop

i can roll over speed bumps as fast as i want and dont have to care about scraping, and i can take most driveways head on



if you are looking for this drop, purchase some Tein S Tech springs or some H&R Race springs either will do the job

Just get coilovers, and adjust them to a happy medium, find a drop that is low enough for you, but doesnt scrape too much... thats what i did..

its hard for me to slam mine b/c i have a full race traction bar that hangs really low..
