Just got a 01 GSR what should I do first. Suspension, Body kits...... What do you guys think!

 

Suspension gets my vote.

Learning the car in stock form and then searching and figuring out what I want exactly out of the car would be my first choice though.

 

Suspension, wheels, and tires. But you should learn how to drive it stock first, like patdemps said. Then start modding it.

 

aviators: $4.50 at walmart
mustache: free on your own time
miami style silk button up short sleeve: $10-15
khaki shorts: $35 at mall
flip flops: $5

now that you look cool, get in the ride and pimp it stock till you learn to drive.

 

I know how it drives Stock, I've driven GSR's before. I think I'll probly get some new struts and shocks. Then either put on new springs or coil overs.

 

ive been wondering what i should do next also.... 92 integra Ls, Cold Air intake, tokico Blues, Neuspeed 2inch drop Springs, 15inch Gsr fat 5 rims, Front and back upper strut bars, Rear Lower Tie bar..... Thinking what i wana do next to the motor any ideas??

 

Get a better tranny.

 

suspension. get some Tien Basics. they're cheap. but very good coilovers. they'd run for about 700-800.

then get the upper strut and lower tie bars. those too are inexpensive. but they'd titen up the turns! u'll definately notice the difference!

I agree with Pat,this man is wise and possesses a lot of knowledge.

NO, don't get the Basics. I hate to break it to you, but those are not "very good" coilovers. They are bottom of the line, and are only height adjustable. If you really want good coilovers, I wouldn't recommend anything lower than the Flex at least. Or go with another brand like JIC, Zeal, Buddy Club, etc.

 

drop and tires

 

ITR sways

 

Suspension, no question.

 

I'm not sure if I want coilovers or springs...I'm not to worried about adjusting my ride height. What your opinion?

 

tein flex

 

If your not concerned with adjusting ride height or dampening, dont pay for it. Everyone is quick to say Tein this, JIC that....but why pay so much for a setup you'll never utilize?

A $150 set of springs and $250 set of NA shocks will suit most people just fine.

You do realize that our double wishbone suspension doesn't use struts. People use the word strut interchangably with shocks. The only things that go in our suspension are springs and shocks. Coilovers are a spring and shock combo designed specifically for each other. (Correct me if I'm wrong on this definition).

Coilovers are expensive i.e $1000+ (or less if used). Springs will run you about $100 or so for H&R Sports or Eibach Prokit. Get shocks to match with them too, not sure how much those go for.

Suspension is definitely my vote as well. A fun car in the twisties is better than a car in the straight IMO.

actually definition of a shock is a suspension dampener. definition of a strut is a suspesnion dampener that is an intricle (sp?) part of the suspension. in other words: shocks are the things you see on the rear axle of a truck that you could remove and the suspension would still work and support weight. a strut is something that if you remove it, there wont be suspension, the car will be sittin wheel wells on tires or chasses on ground.
