I run Zeal Function S with a 20kg/16kg setup on the bumpy roads of a tropical island with no problems at all.

the tein full coils start out at 750 and up. skunk 2 has just came out with a full coilover suspension too. imo if you wanna save money go with tein springs and tokico blues.

i wouldn't mind the prokit but for a 1.25in drop wasn't my thing the tokico springs are the same as the eibach so this means i got the sportlines which give it a 1.75in drop which isn't much noticeable also here is a pic of it to give u an idea
both pics have the same suspension jus the one in the grass was when i first got the car with stock snowflakes and was in the grass so looks lower HOPE THIS HELPS GOOD LUCK

i have the advanced handling suspension kit with HPs/tokico springs. the springs are a little soft but if the roads over there suck like the ones here, they're good for a daily driver. its lowered about 1.5"..looks similar to the second pic of that green integra. it handles much better than stock but i feel like theres still a lot of room for improvement. and it rides just like stock..maybe a little stiffer.

Well, either way you should not skimp. Especially when it comes to suspension. When I had a stop once, the guy had just blew his front left camber, his car was in no operating condition after that due to him cutting his own springs in his garage. I still had to cite him for doing 55 in a 35 I felt awful, yet doing a job is still doing a job. If you cant afford a decent setup, then save until you can. That is your best bet

a good way to stiffen up is to use the polyurethane bushings, i used the set from energy suspension which made a big difference, it made my car feel like i had sway bars installed so that could be y i dont think it needs to be stiffened up but i'm still goin to upgrade my suspension and go with the HKS full suspension set up
