Excellent, the H&R sports are th best spring for the streets. Tokico's are great as well, but for an extra $150 you can get Koni's. That combo is killer.

The old standby Tokico's and a set of Skunk2's aren't bad either. I ran this setup on my old coupe and it handled well, if a little bit stiff. Depends on what kind of comfort factor you're looking for.

I just want the dropped LOOK and some ok cornering. Don't really want my car too low and yes my integra is my daily driver. so good choice i guess!

DO NOT put those springs on Tokico HP shocks! They drop too low and will kill the shocks in no time.

Buy Illuminas for sure.

Also, don't waste money on camber kits. I had H&R Sports on my car with no camber correction and had no issues. Just make sure you get it aligned after lowering, because toe will be way out, and toe-out is what kills tires.

My car on H&R Sports and Koni shocks:

I have H&R sports and love them!! They are good for the street, and I have done very well with them for Auto-X events. You might want to look into Tein S-techs if you really want that oem ride with a dropped look!!

haha I rode stock 4x4 look for 8 months after I bought my car so I could save up and get the good stuff - Koni Sport shocks. Almost 7 years later and it's one of the best choices I ever made for my car.

Patrick do you have the Koni Yellow adjustable sport shocks? For the H&R springs do you have the OE SPORT or just the SPORT that drops 1.75 fr/1.5 rear?

sorry if i sound like a complete no0b, but i didn't know you can correct the toe-out with just an alignment job.. does this depend on how much the car is lowered?

i've always wanted to lower my car just a little bit, but didn't want to mess with camber kits, but also didn't want to compromise normal tire wear.. so i just decided to keep it stock height until i had enough money to do it right all at once (by saving until i had enough for camber kits as well)..

All cars have toe adjustment stock, at least in the front. Solid rear axle don't allow toe adjustment, but IRS does. All Hondas have adjustable toe at all 4 corners, and that's all you need to prevent tire wear even after lowering.
