Default How to: fix apex-i n1 dampers (99 spec)

step 1, buy the 99-spec used for cheap (11k F, 5k R) from fellow h-t member (typer76)

step 2, ride around with them on your integra for a year with the new style apexi conical pillowball mounts.

step 3, buy a set of 16k rear springs from fellow h-t member (SOUNDEFFECTS)

step 4, install them on your itr powered EF hatch.

step 5, install tein s-tech springs on your suspension challenged itr.

step 6, hit your head when you go over a bump on the hwy.

ENJOY!

The first number is the length, and the last three numbers are the spring rate in Kg/Mm...

Let's use the example 9050, which means 9" length and 5k spring rate

The springs that I installed are 8160, which is 8" length and 16k spring rate

TEIN S-TECH are ok on the street. Pretty soft, but they lower the car a decent amount and actually raise the rear rates a bit. I don't like the gap in front (too high), but the gap in the rear hasn't changed.
