Default what is a good suspension?

I got a 94 integra with tokico struts/shocks and eibach springs and its 1.5" dropped, kinda hate it. I feel every bump and pebble on the road. I easily bottom out. I hate driving a lowered car in new york city. Does anybody know what i brand coilovers are good? i want to raise my car back up to stock. thank you

you have to decide how stiff of springs/shocks you want first then you have decide how much you are willing to pay b/c you get what you pay for-cheap **** aint good and good **** aint cheap

if you want to raise your car back up, why don't you buy some stock shocks and springs? it would be a lot cheaper than getting coilovers. it sounds like your car is dropped more than 1.5" inches (or you have a body kit) if you're having the problem of bottoming out frequently.

Very similar scenario. Car came with Tokico's and cheap lowering springs. Rides like ****. All that rattling cant be good. I just ordered some Omnipower full coilovers with a slightly softer setup than usual. Ill be able to raise and lower them for the winter. About a $100 difference between those and new springs and struts. $650 shipped

I love the ITR suspension (shocks, struts, LCA's) on my GSR
Nice tight ride without being too harsh. Helped make steering more neutral and greatly reduced body roll. Dropped car close to 1 inch.
Can be purchased relatively cheaply too.
Previous suspension was worn out stock GSR

performance and ride quality are indirectly proportional. you'll spare one for the other. I dont think there is an aftermarket softer spring than eibach pro-kit, which I assume you already have, so just get oem springs but remember handling will will be affected. also, make sure the rubber piece on the top hat is there. I left one out once and it made a lot of cluncking noises. btw, what size wheels/tires do you have?
