I bought a del sol that the front end looks to be a little jacked up. I've looked at the springs and struts and all look fine. I've heard that integra springs were taller than the del sol's so I'm thinking maybe someone changed them out. I was wondering if anybody had any pics of stock integra and del sol springs? Or maybe a way that I can identify these just by looking at them.

So the spring on the shock is a integra gsr spring and the spring off the shock is a del sol si spring. lengthwise they look pretty much the same to me. as for spring rate? i have no idea if they are similar or not!

that picture is not going to be accurate because the spring on the shock is compressed. If there is a difference its not going to be much. Maybe a 1/8 inch +/- drop. The only oem spring that gives you a bit of a drop is the integra type r spring and I believe its around 1" shorter than civics and integras.

Thanks for the pic. I'm betting if there is a difference then it is in the spring rate. I'm going to be putting my drop springs on it anyway and see if that helps. Then I'll get it aligned and checked out.

You most likely have the right springs. The stock height of the del sol looks like the front sits a little higher for some reason. I know it was like that on mine at least before I dropped it on H&R's.

I had a del sol before this one and I don't think it was this high but I could be wrong. Something isn't right for sure tho since the front tires wear really bad compared to the back. Front are bald while the back are almost new.

are the front tires worn differently or is it normal wear? how are the inside/outside edges of the tread, and is the tread cupping oddly? do tell...

if it's normal wear, just rotate the front/back tires and then keep an eye on the treadwear.

my sol seems like the front sits a little higher than the back. if integra springs jacked up the front of the sol higher than stock, I would know about it and I would have them on my car.
