i have a question about which adjustable shock to buy? i purchased my da bone stock about 7 months ago and i always like my ride lowered especially the way a bone stock integra sits. well anyway i bought a set of goldline drop springs 2.25 inch{brand new}. the guy said that it would give it a tuck look and thats what i wanted so i bought them. after having them pro installed i was pretty satisfied with the look although it could have been a tad lower. but i didnt buy new shocks. i guess this was a dumb move. well anyway i did wheel upgrade from stock 14's to aftermarket 15's and its like my ride was raised and i wasnt expecting that so thats why i need to know which ones to buy. it will be cheaper for me to do it this way than to buy coilover kit. im on a budget so which one is the best for the money. thanks 4 ur help.

 

I'm kind of confused. Are you talked about lowering the car more or just replacing the shocks? Because if you want to go lower you will need to get coilovers, I havent seen any springs that give you the slammed look unless they are cut.

 

Adjustable shocks adjust the stiffness of the suspension, shocks will not make it any lower.

I would ditch the springs and look into coilovers, they offer much more adjustability and way better performance.

Check out K-Sport, Omni Power, and Tein coilover systems just to name a few choices, theres dozens out there.

 

im lookin 4 adjustable shocks 2 go lower and 4 better ride than oem. i looked at some tokico pro damper series and they are 5 way adjustable so yeah they will give me lower look than what i hav now. im only wantin about another inch anyways.

 

ok whats the best buy 4 tha money?

 

but if i get the coilovers i still need shocks tho rite? oem will eventually bust. so what shocks to get? just some basic ones maybe?

 

KYB GR-2

 

how about megan racing coilovers and the kyb gr2 shocks? is that good?

 

On my DA I had Skunk2 slip on coilovers and Tokico Illuminas 5 way adjustable. I had them about 1/3 way down and my tires were at fender level. Also the Illuminas are 5 way adjustable so when I wanted to take corners I would adjust them to be stiff and when I was just cruising I would have them be more soft. It cost me like $500.

 

Whats going on in here ? You already know the best shock on the market for our honda is the Koni Yellow. If you want to be able to drop the car to ANY height and still have a Lifetime warranty your going to want to get Koni's. Kyb AGX only warranty to up to 1.5" drop after that your on your own, same with tokico illuminas. Koni is the choice of winners. End of story.

 

im usually not the one to say this but SEARCH man!

you've asked like 5 different question sense the original post geez...

first lets get your vocab kinda up to par

coilovers usually refer to a adjustable height shock+spring into one like this


coilover SLEEVES
are just and height adujstable spring and sleeve that will go on most shocks like this


now it sounds like your whole purpose here is looks which i guess is cool
if just wanna be "slammed"
get some h&r race springs or some neuspeed race springs i think they drop like 2.5in which on a integra is pretty low.

as far as shocks go i think koni is the only one that you can adjust height with and even then its less than a inch of adjustability. so as far as that goes shocks dont dictate your ride height.

im done explaning stuff, hope that helps out some. but go do some searching on your own

 

Ground Controls with Koni Yellows has my vote.

 

im asking questions cuz i wanna make sure i get it rite. and yes you have helped me. everyone here has great input thats why i always ask u guys. thanx.
