Hey everyone had a question that im sure has been asked alot, but here goes anyways...

Have a 1996 integra DD and im looking for a good spring for my new Tokico blues,looking for ride quality and handling, a little lower than stock but high enough to allow me through snow this winter.

put them on stock del sol springs and im definatly hating it already!! Handling Sucks, please help me out thanks...

 

I would say some nice tein s-tech's. i have them on stock struts and they handle great and look good as well. and with ur struts it will be even better then mine. I've yet to scrape on anything but still hies most fender gap

 

good deal, thats actually the spring i was looking into... but whats your ride hieght like? have any pics?

 

Eibach sportline springs ride good. I'll try and post a picture

 

Sweet thanks bro.

 

I have the sport lines. They ride sweet. Could be lower in the front though...

 

you just lit a couple hundred dollars on fire. the tokico blue is actually worse than the oem shocks. a correctly working gsr shock has more rear rebound.

as for springs. nothing works with those shocks and why you didn't buy the similarly priced and vastly superior koni str.t is beyond me

tein h tech maybe? they are a good deal stiffer than stock and dial out a lot of the understeer. stech would be touchy just because of how low they are, same with sportlines. low, somewhat stiff and a bad match with blues

i f'king hate that shock !!

 

assuming you have had bad luck with them in the past, and I only had enough for the Tokico's ($280) and they were recomended from a fellow friend/auto crosser so i figured he knew his stuff! There defenatly better than blown struts! lol (ps. aint saying much)

 

better than blown yes, and decent on some cars yes. used them on a 300zx before and they were better than oem. for the integra? no, i swear they must be valves to civic specs? not sure, just know there is no rebound and they fight you when driving hard. corner exits are the worst with blues, you brake, turn, then back on the has and the car is floating around while you're playing rob zombie with the steering wheel trying to keep the car on a line. koni's str.t is night and day better and the same price

 

blox, i have some for sale cheap. PM me if interested.

 

I had Tokico blues and H&R Race springs on my EF hatch...great budget set,nice drop,rode good,handled good,and no excessive wear due to camber etc.I had the Sportlines on my old 91 Hatch and 94 Accord and didnt like them at all,but was running OEM shocks.Also had H&R Race on my 95 Integra ,heres a pic...

 

too much spring, too little rebound. if you drove the car hard with h&r race springs and blues the back end is going to be loose at speed. the front generally isn't too hard to keep going loose but the rear is sketchy. all that happened is you got use to what you had. switch those out for koni sports and you would be singing a different song.

 

Why not just rock ITR struts/springs... You can get them cheap from any importer...

 

^ Wouldn't handle too great.

 

it's a step up from the base suspension but requires changing the lower control arms and you're still buying 10+ year old shocks. unless you're paying $100 or so for the whole package your money is better spent on new quality gear.
