Im sure this has been asked a lot, But i have been doing lots of research on what suspension set up rides the nicest, Im not building a show car, its a daily and there are lots of bumpy roads and pot holes where i live and i just want it to ride nice. But i want it to have the lowered look and not look like ****. My rims are super gay im rollin on AR's and there stupid i hate them but after i get my b16 in and redo the suspension im going for rims. so anyway!

I have a 1993 Acura integra ls, its riding on ractive peice of **** coilovers the shocks are shot and so are the coils. So my rims are 15" and my tires are 195 50 15? i think i dont remember and im to lazy to look lol.

So my question, What would be a nice ride height? Like what lowering springs should i get? i wanna go as low as possible with good coils that wont bottom out on every damn thing.
Also a suggestion on cheap shocks?

 

I have H&R Sports on Koni Yellows. There is about a one finger gap all around. I like the ride height except for speed bumps, which sometime I scrape on. Sometime in the future I'm going to GC coilovers on the Koni's and then this won'e be a problem.

 

what about road imperfections how does it do? and how many " did you drop it?

 

I've got a 91 Integra on Koni/GC lowered about 2-3". My cat converter scrapes a little on some speed bumps but I haven't had any problems bottoming out the suspension or anything like that, even on some kind of rough roads/train track crossings.

 

How big are your rims?^

 

Skunk 2 springs F2.0 R1.8 around eibachs
15 inch xxr 522 0 with 195 55 R15 brand new toyos
Fenders are rolled a little but a finger can just fit under...

Fun height, decent corners and looks so sexy (P.M. hooked it up!)
Not the ideal ride, bit bumpy, but that's another budget.

I clear most speed bumps but I avoid all not flat areas if I can.
Overall happy with the look of 15s,
had 17s and a kit before (old 4dr gsr), not liking that anymore, hit everything!
Ran low coilovers on 16s and scrapped the road reflectors for a weekend too, not a long term setup.
Again happiest with the setup in the photo.

 

Took me a while to figure it all out

 

Your **** is **** man.

What struts? you said around eibachs but im pretty sure eibach doesnt make struts for integras.

 

They do. Ebay has a eibach kit. Pro Struts and Sportline springs for a decent price.

I got the H-R race springs on OEM struts and I love them. Not stiff, bouncy, but lower and stiffer than the Eibach Sportlines. I truly believe with a good strut, it will be a stiffer ride.

 

Yyyeeeeaaahhh. I'm rollin' on full H&R's, no name full camber, hx rims, blox lcas, ractive tri-front strut.

I started off with the H&R's, and loved the ride. Very smooth and noticable better after the camber.

A lot of people will tell you there is not difference with/without a camber kit, but as far as my situation goes, and with the size rims it wasn't much needed, but still doesn't hurt to get a few extra thousand miles out of tires. The bigger the rims, the worse the camber gets.

Just get you some nice shocks and springs and go from there.

 

i am super low on some PIC select coilovers (8k, 10k) and i never bottom and its nice with the dampening adjusting cuz if it feels too stiff for daily then i can change it :]
