Last weekend I finally finished my suspension. I installed the 4th Koni shock because one of them broke during the first installation. I also pulled off the rear shocks and set the spring perches to the lower setting. The car sits perfect now. It's pretty low (going to need a camber kit) but I haven't scraped or rubbed anything. I did remove my front mud guards which gave me alot more clearance. All in all, very much

how low did u lower it in those pics??

 

looks good. do you love the koni's a much as you thought you would?

how did you handle the broken shock? diablo or koni?

 

I'm eventually going to go with Koni Yellows and Eibach Pro-Kit springs..

I don't think it will be as big of a drop with yours, I'm not sure if I'll need a camber kit..

 

why do you have that amber side marker? Ive seen a few tegs with it. Is it a jap spec thing????
Im about to lower mine . I think Im going to go with ground control adjustables
It sits nice though

Do you have any pics of how the rears looked like before the adjustment? Looks good.

 

looks good, hopefully i will have my Koni Yellows and Eibach ProKit on this coming weekend. How did you break the Koni ?

 

Dry that car before it 'spots'!

Nice job on the suspension. From the top pic and the naked eye, it looks like you may have some camber issues, but it could be the angle of the pic.

 

so did Koni end up replacing the shock w/ the broken top adjustment tab? or did they charge you for it? anyway glad you put it in finally (all 4).. i've been rolling my Koni yellows w/ Eibach sportlines for a while and i love my set up

 

Let me try to answer all the questions here

The springs are H&R Sport, which are supposed to lower 1.75f/1.5r, but I didn't measure my original ride height. Since the rear shocks are on the lower perch, I have more like a 2" drop in back (rear sat higher than the front before adjusting).

I called Koni about it, and they were very courteous about it, they rushed out another shock to me, next day air (I'm in Nashville and Koni North America is right up in Kentucky). The adjusting tab on one of the original Konis was damaged during shipping and broke clean off while I was assembling the shock/spring. I still have to ship the broken one back. If I don't send it back in 30 days they charge my credit card, but otherwise I don't forsee any problems. They also sent me the correct nuts for the top of the shock shaft at no charge (wrong size nuts were included in the original shipment). Koni customer service is

I didn't think I would need a camber kit, but it turns out i have -2.1 deg. front left, and -2.4 front right. I will probably get the Ingalls kit which adjusts up to +1 deg. so I can set the front to about -1.5 or so.

The sidemarkers are clear copies of OEM Integra sidemarkers, which I painted orange w/ Tamiya clear orange paint (all Integras sold outside North America had these, and I think they look nice, plus add some degree of safety).

Here's a pic from the day after the original installation, rear spring perches set at stock position:



And just for fun, a pic w/ stock suspension
