I have a 98 4 door integra, and im looking for the a good quality setup for a decent price. Not looking to spend over $1k but will spend a good amount.

Please help me! Thanks

 

If you have $1,000 to play with you have 1 option:

Koni and ground control.

Hell, you'll even have money for a 22mm rear swaybar too. Which will likely do as much for your handling as the koni/gc will.

Or if you have **** tires, another few hundred dollars could get you some S. Drives.

 

do you know of a good lowering springs + shocks combo?

 

Tein S-tech Koni STR-t/Sport
H&R race spring and Koni Sport.

There are many others.

We need a little more info. Is this a daily driver? Are you worried about ride quality? How low are you looking to go?

 

Oh sorry for being too general.

this is my daily driver, i just dont want the ride bouncy & I wanna drop the minimum of 1.75" and the max of 2.5"

 

if you got the money then just go with a true full coilover setup..look into some function & forms..great prices and IMO great coilover for a DD..they run about 680$ if not alittle cheaper depending where you buy from


or or or you can go with ground controls on koni yellows like said witch is another great setup or if you wannna down grade the struts you can get some tokico blues with a gc set up..theres so many out there its not even funny..just do some more research

 

Then both setups i posted are worth looking into. The S-tech has the mild spring rates, and will get the min drop, maybe a tad more. And the shocks will be be perfect for that setup.

The H&R spring with get you to the lower end, and will be consideribly stiffer then the other. However, it's noithing the koni Sport can't handle.

If this were me, I'd lean towards the H&R spring.

Then, take what you saved, and replace some things on the car, ball joints, UCA's, endlinks, sway bar bushings, maybe even step up the ITR rear bar.

Also, don't forget you will need a alignment after lowering the car. And don't forget good tires if you plan on any sperited driving.

 

H&R springs + Koni shocks are great. Skunk2 shocks and springs are good for the cost.

 

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into that setup some more

Which Koni's do you recommend?

 

For budget minded enthusiasts: Koni's SRT and some quality name brand spring/coilover of your choice.

For budget minded enthusiasts: Koni sport with ground control.

 

have you done any research of your own? There are tons of info on this all over the web and on team-integra.net. For your "DD", go with ITR spring and KONI and place the spring at the lower perch.

 

Gtfo, never asked for that childish ****. I just want peoples opinions and yes I have done research. So if what your posting doesn't help dont post it at all

 

Just go with Koni Sports with Ground Controls with a softer spring rate like 380 lb/in front and 250 lb/in rear springs. That would kind of be in between H&R Sport and H&R Race springs, and let you get the ride height perfectly dialed in. With lowering springs your car will absolutely ride at an uneven height (squatting or raked look, and lopsided side-to-side).

 

Progress coilovers are good. Comfortable, reliable, cheap and warranty. How could you beat that?

Koni and Ground-Control is also a great option, but a bit more expensive.

 

As far as I'm concerned these are the only two options under $1000.

AMR/PIC is the next price bracket.

 

S2 sport shock + lowering springs. The 2 were designed for each other. Just do it $450 call it a day.

 

Koni STR.T and Tein S Tech

 

lol Skunk2 must be paying you

 

Its straight off the website yo'

 

You believe everything you read on company websites?

I believe it when

A) I used them for a year myself
B) I've seen the engineering myself

 

just FYI... here is the spring rate for S2's lowering springs

" ’94-’01 Integra spring rates:
Front Spring Rate (Tender / Main): 173 lb-in (2.9k) / 520 lb-in (9.3k)
Rear Spring Rate (Tender / Main): 106 lb-in (1.9k(/ 291 lb-in (5.2k)
Drop (Front / Rear): 2.0” / 1.8”
Note: 1 lb-in = 0.0179 kg/mm

’96-’00 Civic spring rates:
Front Spring Rate (Tender / Main): 173 lb-in (2.9k) / 520 lb-in (9.3k)
Rear Spring Rate (Tender / Main): 106 lb-in (1.9k)/ 291 lb-in (5.2k)
Drop (Front / Rear): 2.2” / 2.0”
Note: 1 lb-in = 0.0179 kg/mm

Hope that helps.

Anymore ideas guys?
Looking for more of a lowering springs & spring combo

 

just pair a set of S2 lowering springs w/ S2 shocks... you'll be set
They will ride smooth and soft, but still be aggressive when you hit a turn hard...


any linear springs that used on a full coil or a sleeve will be much harsher on your ride quality.

 

So you would recommend a skunk2 sport shock over say a Koni sport?
