Ground controls with tokiko illumina 5 way adjustables.

VERY happy with the ride, on 16's it scrapes from other issues like offsize tires and bad rear integ brake install... So I don't have it lowered as much as I could at all...

VERY fun tho

It was easy, jsut pull EVERYING, including the ebarke cable allthe way into the center console... Only thing that you can cut off are the wires for the ABS<if it has them>

When swapping, I've heard several stories... some say that the control arm from the civic is used... I don't know what to beleive...

My alignment is OFF BADLY. I used the ENTIRE suspension from the integra, and it ended up way beyond adjustment to correct it.

When doing the rear disc swap all that you use from the Integra is the Trailing arms with brake caliper and rotor, brake line, and e-brake lines. You use the lower control arms and everything else from the Civic. Some of the other arms on the Integra are a little longer than the Civic's. I found this out the hard way when I was trying to install the rear disc swap and it didn't fit right. Then I just used the Integra trailing arm and it fit perfect.

You can also tahe the Integra hubs off(the rear,using a T-51 and I forget,a 22 or 24mm socket)and bolt them on to your EF trailing arms so you don't widen your track and change your suspension geometry;for the front,90-91 Civic EX(4dr)knuckles and brakes work best,but the Integra stuff will work-it just changes the geometry

Thanks! It's one of the cleanest that I've seen because it has never been wrecked, ragged on or modded up. A girl drove it pretty much all of its life since new (one owner car), so it probably never saw above 5000 rpms.

well,,now its between the H&R sports,,1.8 front,,1.7 rear

and neuspeed sports 2 inch all the way around

i know they r made by the same CO,,but is one better then the other
i plan to get tokico blue's
will those 2 springs b a good match up??

i would get KYB AGX's
but i hear they arent meant for a car lowered more then 1.75 inches??
is that true
or should i just get the KYB's??

i like the KYB's on the 94 hatch i have
but i dont want them blowing after a year

also,,on the springs
will the H&R's settle,,and lower it a lil more??
cuz if they do i would assume all springs settle,,and the neu's sports will lower more then 2 inches

i will b rolling on 13's steelies for a lil while untill i decide on what rims to get for my 94 hatch

i ordered 16 inch subzeros,,but the people at mach3 said they will b getting a shipment of rotas in in like 2-3 weeks,,and there was no guarante that the subs would b on there

so i canceled it,
and i was gona roll on my 96 GSRs on the 90 hatch

but now i keep the 96 GSRs on the 94 hatch

thanks mike

this car belongs to chris everybody should know by now what setup he has. the suspension is lowered about 2" in the pics i guess. who knows how low the actual car is...his front mudflaps no longer have the word HONDA on them.
