ok, I have an h22 in my eg, and I orded some tokico 5 ways, and im about to get some skunk2 coilovers, but should i get the ones for an integra, or civic..? Will integra coils bolt right up like the civic? Sorry if It sounds dumb, but i just want to make sure which ones would be best for me? pwr

whoDAT

integra spring rates are definately higher than the civics. but if i was in your case, i would get custom rates from ground control. and yes the integra springs will fit on your civic...if that's what you're asking.

ya you will need even higher rates then the teg offers. go with GC and ask them what they reccomend. id say defently above 450 or 500

Why would you need higher than integra rates? There's a posting on H-T about the weight differences between H and B series engines. Not that much of a difference. Something along the lines of 35lbs heavier.

So what would yall recommend for the h22 swap, skunk2 integra coilovers? for my eg? or civic coils?

Well if your dead set on going with Skunk2 id get integra coils since they have a higher spring rate and the difference from a b-series to h-series varries from 40-80lb difference.

Since your obviously putting a lot of money into your car, if I was you I would seriously consider getting a custom spring rate from Ground Control, the people there know what they are talking about.

I'd get a custom spring rate from ground control as well. Just give them a call and they'll know whats the best spring rate.

2Point2EH2

how much will some custom spring rates go for?

I read a article in a mag recently that said progress made springs specifically for the h22/civic application. Not sure how good they are but it's worth a shot doing some research on them.

PRoJecTSLeePaLoT

by the way how much u pay for your tokico's? I had a set that's still in great condition lying around.

gc 450/350 here with agx. with the R sway, handles great.

Not sure the price, but it really isnt that much more if any at all. They have pre-made spring rated springs.

GC also offers a specific Civic w/ H22 kit which has higher spring rates than the normal OTS GC kits. That's what I would do.

2Point2EH2

but around how much would thay go for? And wont some skunk 2 integra coils be cool?

aphex23

would the illumina's and skunk 2 coils be a good setup? i was thinking of doing the same to my car, or are there a better choice, for maybe cheaper?? im poor

SASIR2

Your from S.A., cool. Go with Ground control, is the engine in your car yet?
http://www.ground-control.com. Give them a call, they should be very helpful.

2Point2EH2

yea, but waiting on an ecu.. Coming in on wednesday.. What do you got? Where the races at now? Everything is getting shut down...

SASIR2

I dunno where anything is at. Police cracking down hard, remember all those stupid racing accidents last year. Me and a friend of mine would like to go to Rivercity raceway one day (dunno when). I wanna see what your setup will run. Never seen a H22 in a hatch personally, a buddy of mine atempted it but gave up and went all motor sohc. I contemplated it but decided to go b16 with jrsc + 8lbs boost. What shops do you go to here in town, i've been trying to find a shop here but imo everything sux.

2Point2EH2

But will some skunk2 integra coils be cool with my swap.. (on some 5 ways?)

SleepnCiViC

yes they will skunk2 rates for a civic are 450-350, integra rates are 550-450. you could prolly do w/ the civic rates and the integra rates will be more than enough!

2Point2EH2

thanx.. more than enough...How would that ride ? too stiff or sword of the same?

SASIR2

Imo pretty stiff, especially for the crappy roads round here. But everyone has a different opinion on what is too "stiff" for spring rates. I wanted some H&R Integra springs on my hatch but heard they would be too stiff for my application but since you are doing that H22 swap some stiffer spring rates are probably a good idea.
