Default How are these springs on our cars?

NOTICE: I didn't post this in the suspension section since I wanted those who are familiar with this kit when used for our cars only to reply.

I have a 96 Integra LS 2door coupe 5speed. This car is bone stock. LOL

http://shopping.lightningmotor...age=1

I was considering getting the Eibach prokit, but I am suspicious that they won't give me the drop I am looking for. Then, I looked at these springs and was wondering how violent they were when used in conjunction with the factory shocks/struts? I know, I will def need a camber kit. What are they comparable to? Are they comparable to the Eibach sportlines? If so, the sportlines are supposed to be rough, and rough is what I don't want.

Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

P.S.- Yes, I know, my stock shocks will probably not be suitable. Will the KYB GR2's get the job done effectively or what?

i have a 94 teggy and had tokico illuminas with eibach pro kit and the ride quality, beatiful, the drop, well the front was nice but the back was still a little high...then i ran coilovers and blew up my shocks now im going back with what i had...sportlines are lower and rougher ride though...skunk2 springs are ok not to bad but theres better...i would rather have little drop and driver how i want then have it low and the car have to be slowed down on bumps driveways and have craked or dented headers, tranny, oil pan, radiator...

Nothing wrong with that. When I get my GS-R, I plan on leaving it bone stock.

... The way it came out of the factory.

I get your point, but I am not trying to make it faster by no means. I just want it to look better. I have a race car to go fast with. I bring my race car to the dragstrip on a trailer, and then go home after the race is over.

rEnZ94tEgGy, are you saying that the Skunk2 springs are too stiff? What I think is good though about the prokit is that I won't need a camber kit. I will only have to reset the toe. I will also be able to use stock shocks/struts.

Let me know.

Oh no, I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted to say that there's nothing wrong being stock as you "LOL'd."

That's all I wanted to say. I wasn't expecting to hear something else.

Yes, how was the ride quality of the Skunk2 springs versus the prokit springs? Stiff as hell? Not good for daily driving?

Let me know.

eibachs was great real smooth, something like stock suspension, skunk2 springs, a little to rough and stiff for it being springs, for a daily driver there both not bad you just wanted me to explain the pros and cons...
