I have Tein's Superstreet coilovers for the 90-93 Integ. I love em. Stiff springs, 16 way adjustable, and height adjustable to like 2 inches I think.
I think they're easy to adjust also. Hella easy to install too.

Other things I've heard are Ground Speed's suck, Skunk 2's are bouncey, and the Neuspeed's are good.

Go to http://www.tein.com for pics, prices and what ever else you want. I got mine off Ebay for 900.00.

You can also get the Basics which are 8 way adjustable.

Hope I helped.

I'll be flying home this weekend to take care of business and first thing on my to do list is swap out my suspension for full ksports will off the shelf rates (8k front/6k rear). If you can wait till then, I'll post up pics/results of the ksports . Of course everything will be done via the "butt shock dyno," but I'll offer my honest opinion on em'.

K-sports> ALL buwhahaaa

Seriously though i pretty much love mine!

The only thing that gave me trouble was that the stock Si rear sway came in at a crazy angle to the k-sport Lca, i had to use 7 washers to get it to fit right. Im going to upgrade sways and if it still is a weird fit, im going to mesure the thickness of the washers and have a peice machined to make it a little bit sturdier.

I love my B&G full coilovers, rides better than stock and i have no complaints, plus I love the fact that no one has them. It's on the only thing on my car that's not Jap, but the german's know what there doing with suspension!!! B&G for the win!

Got mine for 560 shipped from JLB. Pretty damn good price, but a Koni/GC setup can be had for around the same if you buy used. I just wanted to try out the ksports .

well seeing that i've had experiences with both, i would say that my opinion is justified, unlike your biased one because you never owned k-sports.

go to the suspension sponsors forum, you will get a better deal through honda-tech than you would ordering from their site.
