Default Any knowledge of suspension upgrades for 86si

I got an 86si that I've put 87IntgraLS brakes on the front and the whole rear alxe housing/brakes. I want to stiffen the ride a little to help it handle better. I would like info on any known good combinations of rear springs/coils, front torsion bars, sway bars and struts. 205/40v16s on the car is that help consider the other parts. I may put a heavier engine in, in a couple years or when stock engine blows, so adjustable parts may be nice.

OPM Motorsports makes a full bad-*** setup for the car so does Ground Control, They make sway-bars, coil-overs in the rear and fatty 27mm torsions. You can rig all sorts of stuff too, to lower the car 3/4 inch without a big ride comprimise. You have to have a thin wheel though to lower the rear much.

I suggest Tokico shocks, blues or yellows depending on budget, either Ground Control coil overs, or tokico or Eibach rear springs, again depending on budget, and 23mm torsion bars from Ground Control. You must get a rear sway bar, I like my Addco quite a bit more than the ST rear bar.

Good luck, and post some pix!!!

The rear sway bar is 'in' the axle housing, right? If so my rear bar is from the 87 Integra 5dr LS. thanx for the replies and the links
