What would be the best set up for either coil-overs or drop springs for a '99 Integra GS-R? I have been looking at the Tein and the ApexI N1's but I dont know what the best set up would be......hit me up with some companies and ideas

Mark one for the H&R Coilovers. A superb setup!

Also, well priced.

 

For spring/shock set up, i have to give to the Tein NA. Of course, I am using it myself!!

Can't go wrong w/ H&Rs or Teins, they are great products but they are a bit pricey. Less expensive would be to get Ground Control coilovers with Koni yellows (single adjustables). You can get all that for about $850-900, plus you can custom order the spring rates for the GCs if you want.

 

how much loot do you have, and is this a street ot track car?
Mugen Lowdown (street) http://www.kingmotorsports.com
Mugen N1 (track)
Toda Fightex (external reservoir) http://www.todaracing.com/Fightex.html

these are in the $1500-2500 range (you did say best)

I think a couple of guys in the ITR forum have the lowdown setup - do a search, its in there. I am not sure if anyone is running the N1 or fightex

Do the H&R coilovers let you adjust the stiffness of the ride as well as the height? Like Koni yellows do? Just askin' because I'm looking at getting a coilover setup for my teg too.

All coilovers mentioned here have "threaded" bodies which allow you to customize the drop/ride height. I don't know if H&Rs have adjustable damping on their shocks. Even if they do, keep in mind that ideally shocks should be "tuned" to a particular spring rate, such that it is not over- or under-damping the bounce from the spring. If the H&Rs are not adjustable, I'd be willing to bet that the shocks are tuned to the spring, as most high quality coilovers do this.

 

H&R COIL OVERS!

 

Ha, you want expensive, try Mugen's Moton remote-reservoir double adjustable threaded body shocks (whew, say that 5 times fast! ).

You too can have a set of these for the low low price of just $1199.95 per CORNER (4 required per car, obviously).
