Default Coil overs for h22 hatch

Im planning on ordering some Tein SS coil overs for my hatch pretty soon...

Should I get the coil overs for the integra or just 92 - 95 civic HB...

Also, I have read that I will need some aftermarket LCA's..

Just looking for some quick advice, sorry if this is a repost, but I searched and couldnt find exactly what I needed....

Thx

I was originally going to go with Teins too on my H22 hatch. The problem is that no one at TEIN could give me any advice on proper spring rates. So I called up ground control. They reccomended the B series Hybrid coilover kit for Civics. He reccomended that I put the rear spring rates up about another 50 pounds. So my spring rates are 400F/350R. I also used Koni/Neuspeed yellows (shortened by 20 MM) for the shocks. Not to mention both the ground controls and the shocks have lifetime guaranteed and the TEIN's are do not. The other advantage for Ground Controls is that it is so easy to swap out springs for different spring rates, as well as cost effective, and as everyone knows easy to get. The choice was simple for me. How does it handle? I dont know yet. Havent installed them. When I get a chance I will.

I'm currently running teins ss with my h22 and have a nice ride no problems. I truelly think there's no reason for stiffer spring rates..............

tein ss have like a 440 front spring rate/ 220 rear spring rate. so the front is plenty.

I'm in the same boat, going to do my swap in a couple weeks, need to raise car up and upgrade suspension at the same time.

I looked at both GC/ koni & tein ss. still undecided they cost about the same.

both shocks/struts can be be re-valved, etc,etc
