Default Eibachs in front, stock springs in rear, ok?????

I'm running eibach sportlines on my car and I hate the way it makes my car look. It literally looks like I'm riding around w/ a body in my trunk. Would it be safe to swap out the rear springs for my OEM's and still have the sportlines up front?? Thx

Get some H&R Sports, they look really good, and ride great on stock shocks.

<--- Has had H&R Sports on stock shocks for 20,000 miles, the shocks are doing fine.

I think the issue is not spending any money judging from his recent posts... If you don't like it with the current springs on I suggest just put the stock springs back on ALL THE WAY AROUND...

haha, you calling me cheap???

actually that is the issue because I'm going to be selling soon and don't want to dump any more money into the money pit. Just would like to get by for the time being and not have my car look like a hearse.

Thanks for the pix man, looks really good, I may have to go down that route. Are you running SPT's on your C10's? 205/45?

Dude,

It may look like the rear end of your car is lower, but it is not. Park your car on flat ground and look at the side skirt in comparison to the ground. Your car is flat. This is what proper lowering springs do. You can't judge ride height by wheel well gaps, it's not accurate at all. I have the Pro Kit, and my rear wheel well gap is shorter than the front as well.

If you're looking for a technically correct drop, than you already have it. If you're looking for an aesthetically pleasing drop, grab some coilovers and make sure to corner balance.

If you could see this drop I think you would change your opinion a bit. The rake of the car is unlike anything I've seen. The rear end is slammed and the front end has a couple inches maybe more of clearance. It looks pretty bad and doesn't ride much better.......

Just go back to stock, it's really not that bad, especially if you're going to be selling it.

Well if it's anything like mine, I can fit 1 finger in the rear wheel well gap, but 4 on the front. Is it more than that?

Your rear shocks might have taken a **** as well .... any noises?

Things just don't sound right here ....

A lot of the aftermarket springs for the 94-01 Integra have less springrate or way 'off-balance' springrates compared to the OEM ITR springs.

That's why a ground control setup with custom rates is always a good idea, plus you can control the ride height.

The Eibach kits have always been soft for the Integras, IMO.
