Default GC coilovers - integra specific question

Which GC kit should I go with. I'm a little confused. The standard 1020.01 kit says "limited edition" everywhere I see it posted. I was wondering if it makes any difference. I see that model has the most range of lowering (.5-3.5) and has alot of options for which struts you can order them for. I currently have tokico struts. Thanks for the help.

I have 1995 GSR sedan btw.

A couple of things:

1) You don't have struts. You have shocks.
2) All GC kits for the Intera offer the same range of height adjustment.
3) The usable range of height adjustment is entirely dependent on the spring rates you use. GC will sell you any rate Eibach offers. Call them and ask for advice on rate selection if you want.

1. I wasn't being specific, but thanks.
2. They say there is two versions... ranging from .5-3.5" drop to .0-2.5" drop. I'm just going off of what Ground control says.
3. I already know what rates I am going for.

4. you didn't answer my question. does the "limited edition" kit make any difference? It will fit all 94-01 tegs correct? That's my only real question.

1) Fair enough.
2) Probably either due to the use of extended upper shock mounts, or due to spring rates. Can't (safely) go as low with softer rates. Could also just be mis-communication/inconsistencies between the engineers and site developers.
3) Then you want to order specific rates and ignore their preselected variants (feel, standard, cush).
4) Their site provides no information on what the "limited edition" actually is. But yes, it will fit all 94-01 Integras, as well as 92-95 Civics. To my knowledge, they only make 2 sleeves for Integras, Koni specific and other shock.
