Ive been in DA integras for a while now... as of now im on my 5th. Back in the day, there wasnt much choices for suspension- If you wanted the best, you went with Ground controls on Koni Yellows. Then, in around 2002 Tein introduced the basics, then the SS's, and they were all the rage. Now, it seems theres SO many coilover choices.. Function and Form has them, Ksports got them, Skunk2 now has some, D2 has theirs, and I just saw today Tanabe with their Sustec Pro SOC, and pro soc type 2 coilovers. Now, I know theres tons more options if I switch my lower control arms out for 94+ integras, but Im looking at whats available for DA's right now. So far, the skunk2 has the most appeal, mainly because of their price, (580 shipped) but they also have a good reputation. Now, as far as my goals, I put the ride first, and performance second, considering I drive my car to work alot more than I do on the track. Like most people, im looking for a good balance between the 2, without breaking the bank. My friend wants to sell me his gently used ground controls with extended top hats and higher spring rates, and koni yellows for 750. Should I go with the ksports for around that price, the D2's, the Tanabes for 600 starting, or the skunk2's for 580 shipped? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

i recently myself just bought rsr ti 2000 for my 90 ls and plan to put them on with new kyb shocks because my stock ones have seen there day, but i would go with whatever you feel like will set you apart, making your own set up is where it is at...

 

good shocks and spring rates that arent too high...

sounds like koni/custom gc are for you

tein ss are pretty comfortable...im drivin on them

 

i got HP MAX coilovers...and i love the ride of it... rubs a lil when i have ppl in the back and taking turns fast.... pretty good... i think

 

I got skunkworks and koni yellows and they work just fine.

 

I have ksports on my DA and i think they ride pretty well. Not too harsh for daily driving. The roads here in the desert are pretty bad in some areas but it is still not too harsh. Im pretty low as well so i have the shock at full stiffness at all times.

If you do decide to go with ksports, might i suggest JLBmotorsports. Theyre a sponsor on here with great customer service and the best prices i have seen.

I had the koni/gc set up on my DA and I loved it. I have Tein SS on my DC now, and i plan to switch them out for a koni/GC set up once i have the money

D2, Ksport, Function and form etc.. are all the same thing branded with their own name and color. id go with a name you can trust in koni and GC

They are NOT all the same. They are indeed made in the same factory, however each company is different and has their own input on their products. There are also many people who are now using ksports, d2's, F2 etc, and i have yet to hear anything bad about them.

 

Thanks for the input! Anymore? My old setups were sportlines on gr2s, then skunk2 coilovers on the gr2s. Both of which rode like ****, I want something that wont give me back problems.

 

any advice on the skunk2s full coilovers?

 

i have k-sports and i love them. and they were only $600
