I have a dc2 riding on function form type 2 and they ride like ****. Im looking for a new set up. The streets i ride on are pretty harsh because its in the city. Im really looking for comfort instead of performance, but i want it to look good too. I've read that the koni/gc are very popular. Give me some suggestions.

 

i'm in the same boat bro sittin on STOCK struts with EBAY coil overs lol talk about harsh on shitty roads...anyways the koni str t (streets) were brought to my attention on one of my threads, i searched and reviewed them and got nothin but good feedback....as for spring/coil over just go with name brand and in ur case no more than a 2" drop imo would b good, lmk what u decide to get

 

btw for less than $200 shipped u can get kyb gr2 non-adjustable struts which from what i'm comin to find out r perfect for oe replacement and a slight drop..

 

Are you sure the Functions aren't turned to the soft setting? Shoot if you don't like them, i'll take them off your hands!

 

might go with the koni with eibach sportlines. what do you think about that?

 

I've adjusted hard to soft, even raised the height. Still rides the same. Rides a little better on the soft side. Its not bouncy it just doesnt absorb bumps very well. The roads i ride on have mini speed bumps everywhere. I'll sell it to you for $400. I bought it for 700 and you pay for shipping.

 

I have the eibach sportlines and unkown shocks and I love the way it rides!

 

Maybe they're blown? If the dampening is not working the valving could be messed up.
If you are that concerned about ride quality just get some decent springs like H&R with some decent shocks. Illuminas might be good for you

 

Try Tein S springs with tokico shocks. Rode on those for years on my DC2 and it was comfortable. Cheaper than coilovers. If you have to have coilovers, try Progress. I'm using their coilovers now for autocross and road racing as well as a DD. Their coilovers start at around $550.00

 

shoot, i'd pay 400 bucks for them but you gotta prove to me that they aren't blown lol, the springs on those are just too stiff for ya. 12k/10k F/R isn't ideal for DD.

 

x2!!! just ordered my struts, the springs i'm orderin next week when i get paid

 

can u post a pic of how low ur car sits? i wanna get an idea of the drop ima get

 

This would be a fantastic setup for a dd.

 

i have sportlines and the eibach pro dampers. Its fantastic and cheap

 

I have been preaching this for a while now. Function Forms will blow on you more sooner than later. Check out Koni/GC if you don't want to break the bank.

 

koni streets and tein h techs are a great combo for the integra. that spring isn't universal in being good but the rates are wonderful for a 94-01 integra if you want a daily driver that's not floaty. it's basically stock ITR suspension + 15-20%

 

functions have about 10k miles on it. how long do most shocks last? i can post pics when i take them off. i can send it to you in the pink box it comes in.

 

let me know how it rides

 

i found a set of skunk2 coilovers in my garage. how would dat ride with koni's?

 

do eibach and tein have a 2" drop or they just go to 1.7?

 

i have no clue how either calculates drop, the tein H is basically a ramped up oe itr spring. it's a little stiffer and a little lower. eibach has the pro kit which is nearly worthless and the sportline which is both lower and stiffer

 

GC with OTS spring rates with Koni shocks or tokico illuminas.

 

What are the spring rates?
Ride qaulity is based on opinons, his is different from yours, aswell as mine.

 

something people should always keep in mind. what might ride great for one could be *** to another.
