Lower it and do the JDM conversion.

Integras stock sit high as crap off the ground a lowered teg with the frt end conversion now that would look good.

Also, there is a big differance beween price of lowering and the JDM frt end conversion. Unless you go with a tein set up to lower it.

I think you should take the money and invest in a good suspension setup, not just "lower" it. Unless you're building a show car, or wrecked your front end, it makes sense to put function over form and invest in parts that actually do something.

Kendall is right, the front looks good, but seriously, stock ride heights always suck, you should definetly lower your car, if i didn't know any better I would think it was lifted, yours looks a lot higher than mine, and my suspension is currently stock. Lowering will make a world of a difference.

jdm should come later
of course it all depends on your finances. You make it seem like you only have the $ to do one or the other, well let me tell you it's gonna cost well over 1.5K to do the conversion, that's IF you do it yourself, as opposed to a suspension setup running a few hund

well-- since we're asking for opinions here....

I say that you just buy an ITR lip, and a set of Teins.

You'd be set. Then you can focus on making it fast

Dude, sounds like you got money. Just go all out on ur suspension, performance springs, struts, and strut bar. I've found that all that costs around 800. Not only will you look good, won't be rice. BTW I hear, once u lower ur car, its a whole new driving experience. Im still saving up for my stuff
