Hey guys,

I just bought an old 1989 integra and working on things one by one. The front suspension does not have springs, is it normal? Can I add springs, would it make a difference? If yes, what do I need? Thanks for your help!

 

Does it ride like ****?

The front suspension on your Integra uses torsion bars rather than traditional springs.

Never knew this, thanks for sharing that.

 

And I think it's height adjustable.

It is,just don't expect much of a drop.

 

ok , my car handles like a boat. So can I do something with these torsion bars to make it better or may be use springs intead?

 

A good place to begin would be upgrading the shocks and struts.

 

yea it sucks about first gen 86-89 integras, they use torsion bar suspension up front.

 

hopefully that guy with the black teg on fins chimes in... cause his !shiet is duuuummmpeeed

And some JDM lowering torsion bars.
