Default IntegraDC2 Future Suspension

Hi Guys this is my future suspension set up. Let me know if you think it will be aggressive enough. I don't want my wheels tucked and i do use this car as a Daily.

First off i have a Bomex Bodykit on my car so it appears low already.
Also running 17in wheels

This is what i am going with
Skunk 2 F Camber Kit
BLOX R Camber Kit
Koni Red Shocks - Did some reading and with the drop i want they work fine i dont need to spend another 150 dollars on Yellows.
Neuspeed Sport Springs . 1.75 drop in front and 1.5 rear.

Then in the future
Front upper Strut. Skunk2 Probably they make great products.
and Rear Upper and Lower Skunk 2.

Also thinking about the Rear LCAs think its necessary?
If so Blox has a good price on them

Skip the camber kits. Unnecessary in the front completely, unnecessary in the back with such a mild drop.
Shocks and springs look fine. I'd still consider better shocks, but I haven't heard anything bad about Koni Reds.
Rear LCAs are bling only, Integras already have holes in the OEM LCAs for a rear ARB.
Strut bars are debatable, get a front upper and rear lower if you want, but the rear upper just kills trunk space.

ARB? Sorry i have never done a suspension on a car this is new to me so just making sure i do it all right the first time.

The Koni Reds i red that several people have them on 1in - 2.5in drops and haven't had problems in the last 3 years and with the price of them i figure thats a good deal. the Yellow only difference is you don't have to take them off to adjust them.

Do you think the Drop is a good enough look with what i am working with? - Again Mugen front lip. Bomex Sides and rear. and 17in wheels.

ARB = anti-roll bar. a.k.a swaybar. (I'm too lazy to normally type swaybar when ARB is less letters.)
Since the Integra came with a rear swaybar stock, you don't need LCAs if you decide to upgrade to a different bar.

The Reds will probably be more than sufficient, I just have no experience with them. I do love my Yellows, but you don't need to buy shocks that expensive.

Wheel size is completely irrelevant, if you have correctly sized tires for the car. For an Integra, 205/40-17 is correct.

Cosmetic questions (will it look good) don't belong in here. Save those for the cosmetic forum. A 1.75 front / 1.5 rear drop is reasonable for the car, if thats what you're asking.

If you want me to answer if it will look good, then the answer is "No it won't. Its got a Bomex body kit on it". (This is why opinion questions don't belong in a technical forum.)

Enjoy the new suspension once you get it installed. And don't forget to reclock your bushings to the new ride height.

No it isn't. The valving is different. As mentioned though, the 8040-Specials should be fine with Neuspeed Sports.

Forget the camber kits. Make sure to have the toe aligned to the exact center of the factory spec range at all four corners after installing the suspension (ignore any complaints about camber that the alignment shop will likely hassle you with). If the body kit is aggressive, you will probably have to remove your front bumper to get the car onto the alignment rack and allow line of sight for the heads.
