Default Suspension Upgrade for my GSR

I own a 95 GSR and I was looking to upgrade my suspension, I want to upgrade with new shocks and springs. Im looking for good quality, smooth ride and also better performance. I dont have a set budget so you can throw anything at me as long as its reasonable. Let me know what you think would be the best setup and how much it would cost. Thanks in advance.

Not to give you the usual answer but a quick search for "integra suspension" or "DC2 suspension" should get you answers quicker than waiting for opinions. Check it out, good luck with your upgrades!!!

Here's what I did and am pretty happy with it.

Ground Control Sleeves
Koni Yellows
Comptech Rear Sway

It seems to be a pretty standard setup. For me the standard GC springrates seem about right, but others like insane springrates.

a good mild set up would be Eibach sportlines and some Koni yellows, fully adjustable height and softness

Depending on your budget, I would suggest omni coilovers. If you need somethign cheaper I would go with sportlines and some nice shocks.

I rode in a guys Integra with Tein Type Basics a couple weeks ago and was happy with the ride, even though its not adjustable. I personally have ITR Springs all the way around on new OEM shocks. I will probably get Tein SS's or GC standard spring rates & Koni yellows.

I have a comptech strut bar up front and am getting ready to purchase the comptech rear antisway/tiebar combo, and some sort of rear strut tower bar. I think it will be a good setup for my daily!

i've had eibach sportlines and they provide a decent drop, i think something like 2.25/2....f/r
or the pro kit from eibach for a less agressive drop.
Koni Yellows to pair up with them

The Tokico Blues will likely not be able to handle the spring rates and your desired drop. AGX's, Illuminas, or Koni Yellows will be a better comination with the Skunk2 Coilovers.

I've heard good things about the GC sleeves. I'm running comptech springs on Koni yellows and will be swtiching to GC once I can find a good deal and a good spring rate to get.

Couldn't be happier with the ride height and comfort level.
