I'm about to buy the setup listed and i want to know how much % stiffer the shocks would be compared to stock.
thnx

ANGELIQUE

ALSO, maybe if i go with KYB gr-2's or tokico blues, which setup would be best for Comfort@@?

Why don't you get the KYB AGX's, then it can be as stiff as you want.

ANGELIQUE

i don't want them stiff tho, i want a nice drop but comfortable ride. bout 1.5" drop just wanna know if the AGX's are stiffer then the GR2's or tokico blues. i've heard that the AGX's are pretty stiff even at the min setting

AGX's are adjustable...meaning you can put them as soft as you want or as stiff as you want. GR-2's and Blue's are gas adjusting...meaning when the shock compresses...it adjusts itself...you don't have any control. My friend had GR-2's in his integ for about a day...too bouncy...and then he bought some Blue's used...they were alright...but now he's using Tockico Illuminas...he likes those the best. AGX's are about the same as Illuminas...so I'd say get the AGX's if you're really particular about your ride.

I had tokiko illumina's with GC coilovers before, and it was really soft. Id almost say too soft.
I sold the illuminas and bought AGX's and rocked those with the GC's. Still a little too soft.
Now, I have the AGX's with Skunk2 Teg Coilovers and it feels great. Witht he settings on #2, its comfortable but still pretty stiff.
Thats my vote.

if you are only going to drop 1.5 why spend all that extra money on GC.

ANGELIQUE

i wanna drop it about 1.5-2...i live in canada so i wanna raise in the winter and lower in the summer thas why i want to get the GC because there adjustable.

Your setup is fine Go with AGX so you can ride soft on the road and stiff at the track.

ANGELIQUE

on ebay there are a combo set of Tokico blue shocks + RSR Ti Springs for 380...is this a good set up??

ANGELIQUE

ya thanks i think i'm gonna go with the GC's and AGX's...thanks

Tokico blues suck ***.

KYB AGX with skunk2 here!

get the AGX with the GC it'll be nice... also the AGX is adjustable. If you want a "STOCK" ride, dont even look at the coilover setups with sleeves such as Ground Control or Skunk2's and expect to pay ALOT more... but if you dont mind the lil extra stiffness GC with AGX is the answer

kyb agx's are nice I have them on a 3 inch drop using skunk2 coilovers and it's a smoothe ride considering how low my car is and I have the back on 5 and the front on 2

Simple SOHC

Yeah...get GC's...they are the best. My friend had Skunk2 coilovers on his teg for about 2 hours and took them back and bought the GC's. And if you get GC's...try to get teg spring rates...the rates are a little higher. Thats what my setup is...Teg GC's with AGX's on the way.

ANGELIQUE

are spring rates different on the type of GC's? i'm buying off of ebay and it says its the special edition's. do they have a different spring rate?

ANGELIQUE

sorry it say its the limited Edition Coilover Springs

Simple SOHC

Integra rates are stiffer than civic...and for the limited editions...I believe the only difference between the regular and those is the way you lower the car. The regular ones have two sliding disks...where as the LE's have 1 disk that uses an alen wrench to lock in place.

Springs rates also differ due to the cars/engine weight.
