Icon2 Skunk2 spring on DA integra????

I was wondering if anyone on here has a pic of their DA with skunk2 springs? I wanna see how much the springs lower the DA.... Im looking into getting the Skunk2 spring/strut combo... but if I don't like the height of the car with the springs, I'll then go with Skunk2 full coilover system.... anybodies help would be appreciated!!! Thanks,John

yeah, a part of me is feeling guilty for even thinking about just getting springs instead of coilovers... thats like buying my daughter the head of a stuffed teddy bear, instead of the whole thing,lol... I think I might just go full coilover... which ones do you have, the Comp. or Street ones? do you have a pic handy by any chance?

Cheers,
John

There is nothing wrong with lowering springs and a good set of dampers. Many people don't need adjustable height. Be aware that almost all adjustable full coilover setups come with much stiffer linear-rate springs than lowering springs. Most lowering springs have a progressive rate, which helps give the car a smoother ride over the smaller bumps and road imperfections, but stiff enough to keep it from bottoming out over larger bumps/dips.

yeah, thats also what I was thinking... I guess I am stuck with too many options in my little head of mine, and im just trying to narrow my options.... I figured the Skunk2 springs with Skunk2 dampers would be a solid combo... but I was also thinking about the Skunk2 C series full coilovers, because of the adjustable dampers, plus I would like the option of being able to adjust the height when needed.... IDK, what do you think? I do like my cars LOW.... if the Skunk2 springs are low enough drop, I might just go with them... the wheels im getting are gonna be 16's with 205 45 16... I want no fender gap... I have 17's right now.. but those are going real soon... blah blah,and so on,lol

I have skunk2 springs in my 93 DA I like it.. rides good that's the most important thing I guess is when you drive in comfort. I use to have 17's in it looks good rims almost close to the fender. Now I have 14's in it still looks good and low for me..
