Okay, really quickly:

Car is a daily driver. We get lots of snow in Canada =P I currently have H&R sport springs and OEM shocks as my set up. This is a great height for looks, and I love how the car handles currently. However, riding that low through ANOTHER winter is just not feasible.

What I need, is something that will allow me to do two things:

-Change ride height each season, higher for winter, lower for summer
-Not sacrifice my current handling quality

So, I'll need height adjustable suspension, ones that obviously don't have to be taken off the car to change the ride height. Dampening adjustability would be nice (can go softer or stiffer based on what's needed) but ride height is the big one.

I have looked at several options, was pretty keen on BuddyClub N+ Spec's, but a lot of people mentioned the spring rates aren't very good on them... anyway, please help?

 

K-Sport's are very nice

 

Ground Control / Koni's

 

++ on the GC/konis. They aren't super cheap, but they're an amazingly good value if you look at what you're getting. You can choose what spring rate you want as well.

 

I am going with function and form type 2's. There are a couple sites that have a complete package for a little over $1000. Here is one you can check out. http://www.jhpusa.com/catalog/...d=549
I have heard nothing but good things about F&F. This package will have everything you will need. With GC/Koni yellows you will have to get this stuff seperatly. You will need it too. If you have the money go with the tein type flex and then get the EDFC so you can control the dampening from the the drivers seat and get the other stuff seperate. And since you were looking at the Buddy club's then I am assuming you do have the money to spend.

 

Depending on how low you go, you won't need any of that, there are tricks for correcting camber without getting kits. The only problem I see with F&F/KSport are the cheap production and extremely stiff springrates.

 

changing your ride height is a pain. it isn't something that i would want to do every season for sure. I would suggest compromising and going somewhere in the middle. If your goal is performance you don't want to mess with your ride height alot. but if your just looking to slam your car then it really doesn't matter. And again if performance is your goal, don't cheap out and get a camber kit.

 

I don't see how raising and lowering your car is such a task that you wouldn't want to do it every six months. Figure out the number of threads for a "high" and "low" ride height and just adjust to that number bi anualy.

 

i got SKUNK2 coilovers and SKUNK2 shocks on my integra...rides nice..

 

get some quality adjustable shocks (tokico illumina, koni yellow) and stock springs. ride on stock springs during winter and the h&r sport every other season.

the adjustable shocks will give you that handling edge over stock shocks.

Do you have coilovers...have you made and adjustment yourself? Personaly, i wouldn't want to be doing that twice a year. I have a 96 GSR and the wrenches don't fit in good and it's just a pain. If you are only concerned about looks then your system is fine. If you are concerned with performance your system it to inacurate still.

This seems like it would be even more of a pian to do. But this will take care of looks and performance. Things would be a little more consistant. I would never do this but hey it's up to you.

 

do you have a db? if you do i'll take those h&r springs
