You need to quit stirring the pot in every thread you step into. I'm tired of putting out your fires.

im not stirring anything.

if thats as low as the function and forms go, they wont work for me. thats all i was saying.

i originally wanted the function and forms, but based on what people were saying, and that pic posted above they arent gonna cut it.

So you basically just want a completely slammed and non-functional car for the most part, right?

body clearence is the measurment of how low you are
damn... im tryna save a couple hundred bucks here. but if i can see an EH/EG at an acceptable height i'll go for it. i currently have GC coils as well but i'd rather a full coilover for the car. just to hold me over till i get my real suspension.

I have been doing my research and I currently have Tein S.techs on blown stock shocks on my EH3 and its time for me to fix/upgrade. I ordered Type 1s on Friday and should have them next week.

Here are some facts about them to clear up any confusion for someone who is doing their homework on these.

-Type 1s and 2s go equally as low.
-For EGs spring rates are 10k/6k for the Type 1s and 12k/8k for Type 2s.
-They go pretty low and tuck tire and even lower if you mess with the preload however that causes ride quality to worsen and should not be messed with.
-Build quality is the SAME for Type1 compared to the Type 2.
-These are made for daily driving with the occasional track day and so they handle great and feel awesome.


For me I was looking for a few things:

-Full coilover setup. No coilover sleeves, or spring/shock combo.
-Not $1,000, around $600 was my budget.
-Height adjustable.
-Good ride for the street, something stiffer than stock but not too hard.

I haven't gotten them but when I get my car back from paint I should get these in just in time. They seem to be perfectly what I'm looking for.

Lol. Ure gonna love the Coilovers dude, I have a couple friends with the type 1s and they love them. I've had my version 1 type 2s for over 2 years and it was most definitely my best investment for the car.

Had these installed on my friends Integra. We didn't mess with the pre-load at all, we just maxed out the front and left a couple of inches in the back. The rear is tucking nicely but the front barely tucks. Anybody else have this problem? =/

What tires are you running? What integra is it? DAs have trouble tucking tire with FFs.

EGs tuck tire, this shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully someone can chime in but I dont think that will apply to us.

Friend is running 195/50/15 and its a 2000 GS-R. I guess we're just going to have to mess with the preload.

That's the same with me on the Type 1's. My front is maxed out and I'm tucking like 1/2-1inch of tire, however in the back I'm tucking a good 1 1/2 inch and I have probably another inch to go on it. But it doesn't really bother me, I like the stance I have now and I definitley don't want to mess with the preload.
