I have a 99ls, and I have Tein RE. They are ******* badass. The ride is really uncomfortable though. Very very stiff, even on full soft. But they are worth it for the corners. I would recommend Ground Control/Koni Yellows if you don't want full coils though.

with stock shocks i would go with eibach prokit or sportlines.

but from my experience save up n go with aftermarket shocks and get coilovers

i have a 92 teg also and i'm using GC coilovers on stock shocks. the ride could be better it's a little bouncy but it's not horrible. i used to have h&r sports but those weren't low enough for me but they did ride close to stock.

this has been gone over and over and over... but i'm using TEIN SS coilovers and I love them. They are height & 16 way dampening adjustable.. I like my ride stiff as hell so I have then set as hard as they can get + a S2 rear sway bar + full race traction bars + JIC dual strut bar.. Get these if you have the cash.. it's well worth it.

Im currently using koni yellows (spss revalved) and ground controls. The ride is pretty rough on the softest setting. I havent yet been able to take advantage of the setup in autox events......... if i was to purchase new i would do gc's and koni yellows for sure, unless u plan on racing then do the revalved spss setup.....

Back in the day on my 90 i had sprint springs and stock shocks. I was ok a far as i remember. But then again I was not really into my car back then.

On my 96 I have tokico illuminas blue (non-adj) with suspension techniches springs. But i am going to ditch the springs and get some eibach's. My current springs have a nasty creek to them ans i am not happy with the stance of the car.

I have a 92 Integra GS with Integra Type-R Tein HA's on it. I have the ITR rear LCA's and DC/EG front shock forks (both are needed to run an ITR setup). I am 16 way adjustable, and I currently have it set to almost full stiff...the ride is VERY harsh, but I love it rough .

I paid $850 for the whole setup used.

i have a 92 integra gsr. i had cheap apc coilovers on the car.. ride was pretty good.. i didnt really care.. it handled great especially with the negative camber i had since it was dropped all the way down. But it was pretty low. I hit everything. So I bought eibach prokit springs with ingals front camber kit on stock shocks. really great.. dont hit anything now.. but i would suggest getting tokico illumina's with them. ----> perfect setup. Only downside, i liked the car slammed, and plus it handled great with the negative camber, but tire wear was bad.. so it has its ups and downs.. but im getting illumina's in the spring, and that should do the trick.

i found Tokico High Performance Springs Tokico Adjustable Illumina Struts,or how about the skunk2 street/strip coilovers? i dont think they make omni power for DA tegs. for people who have gcs and koni yellows how much did you spend on the setup where did you get it from any suspension combos??
