Have you noticed much difference in the ride quality?

Did you use the lowest perch setting in back? Looks about as low as my car on H&R Sports, and I'm lowered nearly 2".

I decided to use the lowest perch in the rear. I had the same setup on my 98 civic and used the stock settings, and the rear was higher than the front. I havent had a chance to really feel the car yet, but I need to adjust the firmness of the shocks. By using the lowest perch in the rear it looks better, but give it a couple of weeks for the springs to settle. Now I just need to figure out what to do next.

I would recommend getting the Type-R rear swaybar. It will complete your upgraded suspension and it will make your car handling very neutral (no understeer/no oversteer).

Damn, that looks pretty damn good, because most of the G3 Integras that I have seen lowered don't lower it "all the way" in the rear.

not at all, H&R is 1.75/1.5 while Eibach is what, 1.3 or so? My car sat higher in back, both before AND after installing my H&R's, so I took the rear perches down to the lowest level, I love where it sits now.

You can get all of the Acura parts (ie. swaybar, bushing, bracket, nuts and bolts) from http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.net for ~$85 shipped. You can get the Type-R rear swaybar mounting/reinforcement kit (aka. BSQ mounting kit) from http://www.geocities.com/bretq/mounting_kit.html for $20 shipped. So you are looking at a total cost of ~$105.

BTW, here is a link to the installation instructions for the Type-R rear swaybar: http://www.geocities.com/bretq/swaybar_install.html .
