Default 91 Integra Less Rough Ride?

Hey, guys. I have a 91 Acura Integra GS... my ride right now is really-really low to the ground. I frequently bottom out, the ride is really rough- I can feel every little bump and I can't swerve every pothole.

I want a smoother/safer ride.. I figure I need to raise my car a little bit.. I don't know much about cars. I was told to get new struts & springs. any advice? also any recommendations on decently priced strut & springs?

thanks

Swap it out with stock suspension. If you want to lower it a little like 1 to 1.5 inch then you can put some decent lowering springs on stock struts.

Unless they are progressive springs on both the front and rear it will be bouncy on OEM struts alone. Extended top hats are a must.

FIRST thing I would do is determine what you currently have installed on the vehicle. Then look it over very carefully and see if everything is working the way it was intended. If so, I would then try to adjust it so it was not lowered as much and or determine if you need additional parts to work correctly. Get the manufacturer and try to call them with your questions, they can probably help you the most.

Lol I don't have any coilovers.. my bro tells me my struts are blown. I'm on a budget, too. I was thinking about getting a suspension kit? Specifically Tokico HP Suspension Kit HPK203. Yay / nay?
