coilovers would be you best bet if you want lower.

i know this is probably a dumb question but can i still use the springs i have? if so can i get a list of what i need?

Coilovers are usually sold complete (springs & shocks), I've never seen them sold just as a shock (though there could be a mfg who sells them that way, I don't look @ shocks very often).


As far as parts, suspension pieces for 92-95 Civic, 94-01 Integra (excluding Type R), and 93-97 Del Sol are fairly interchangeable. Spring rates are a little different due to the weight differences but they'll mount up.


You could always buy coilovers and sell off your S-Techs on eBay or Honda-Tech Marketplace.

i know i can sell them but idk. coilovers arent really in my budget...
i know i know ' you gotta pay to play' but right now im trying to get my paint done and my cash flow isnt very high. what about shocks? will the car sit any lower with aftermarket shocks?

I know Skunk2's coilovers are made with shortened shock bodies, but I'm not sure on their normal shocks.

good things come to those who wait. if you are like me where money is always on a tight budget (wife and kids) then patients is your best friend.

as for shocks, not sure about the rest but i know about the best! Koni yellows are adjustable in stiffness and in height. the have a ring clip that allows you to lower or raise the car.

now if money is tight and ground controls are out of the question, then forget about the koni's since they can run from $600-$750 give or take.
