okay, i give up. it looks like im going to have to get rid of my skunk2 springs and get some decent ones. i mean, my car drives like a ******* pogostick. i need some opinions from all you lowered DA guys in here. my friend had some Tein springs on his 91; the ride was a hell of alot better than mine, and we have the same exact shocks(tokico blues). i checked the struts last week, theyre perfectly fine. does anybody have any positive things to say about their DAs with Tein, H&R, neuspeed, tanabe or any other kind of springs?
also, to the people with skunk2 springs: are you supposed to take out the rubber piece from the black cup at the top of the spring/shock in order to fit the front springs in? thats what i had to do, otherwise the cup sits on top of the spring
i am thinking that maybe i got the wrong springs, even though the box said 90-93 integra and the number stamped on all 4 springs are the same. the back of the car rides perfectly fine. my friend definitely didnt have this problem when we installed his Tein Stechs.

On my old DA I ran H&R Race springs with Tokico illuminas and it rode pretty damn smooth. Ride was stiff but not harsh. But I did not like the ride height. Front had a two finger gap and the rear had a single. Switched that suspension for H&R Streetversion Full thread's and had great results. Rode like stock, slammed and felt like it was on rails. Hope this helps...

i almost went with some H&Rs, but they were from a 95 civic coupe. not sure if they were the Race springs, but i decided not to do it despite my brother offering them to me for $50.

I currently have some H&R Sports on my DA. The drop is 1.8 inches around, so it lowers the car mildly. The ride isn't harsh at all IMO. However, aestheically, it could be better, because it seems as though the front is higher than the rear due to the front and rear fenders being different heights.
I requested a short story for a title.

yeah i know its going to be different from stock suspension. but like i said my friend has the same car as me, with teh same shocks, but his car rode a hell of alot better than mine. i just dont understand; i dont think i got the wrong springs; the box was not opened at all; but the front springs dont fit in the top cup part unless i take out the rubber piece inside of it

Ground Control exclusively uses Eibach Race Springs (ERS). very very very bad@$$ combo (used to have it on my car w/ custom spring rates).
