Default I lowered my Integra/ Prokit (pics)

Well I finally got around to lowering it. I decided on the Eibach Pro-Kit and Tokico Blues. The ride is firmer but not harsh. The car handles much better and less body roll. The fender gap is greatly reduced but not gone. I am happy with it. I only use the car on the street as a daily driver. Enjoy.

That doesnt look half bad..

then again Im on Neuspeed Race..

So my car could pretty much drive under yours, but it looks nice, clean!

Im tucking stock 14's with no rubbing, ONLY thing that needed changing was my OEM mudflats, and I took them off anyways, so Im fine. doesnt bottom out anywhere, and rides great and smooth on KYB AGX's

The way it should come from honda... no need to go lower. Nice choice. You wont regret it every time you go over a speed bump.

Sleeping4door, thank you very much for that. I was in a rush when I posted em up.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I really like this setup. Im running Tokico HP blues and the ride is nice. Im not bottoming out on everything either. I know alot of peeps like em slammed but it wasnt in my budget and I was scared of ride quality. Some angles it looks lower than others.

Thanks again for the comments.

pro-kits suck.
-they're hella expensive for what they are.
-they don't drop it for ****.
-and they handle and ride like stock.

you coulda saved money and left the stock springs in. the 0.5 to 1.0 drop is barely noticable. shoulda just upgraded your struts if you're looking for a nice ride and stock-like ground clearance...

Why didn't you go lower? I don't want to pay out on the car but it doesn't seem low at all. Still, it's a nice clean car.

Here's are 2 pics of my lowered Teg...

dude dont post pics of your car in someone else's thread. if you want to show your car off, start your own thread. its common courtesy.

The reason I didt go lower is because I dont feel like buying tires once a year, scraping my bumper, terrible ride, blown shocks. If you want to slam your car go ahead.

Like I already posted in the original topic, I know its not slammed. The gap is reduced greatly.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion on how the Pro-Kit looks and feels. For me this is great and I notice the difference.

I have my civic on the prokit and it looks nice...perfect drop. I don't want to go any lower....pointless. I think your car looks fine the way it is now with the prokit. The only thing is, I kept my stock shocks on and it handles fine....so if they do go out and you end up SOL just put the stock ones back on cause it works fine for me.....ride is still smoooooth. Good choice

ajchen, i'm not showing off my car, i had my own thread which you probably haven't seen. i only posted pics to show furious94ls how low my car is and basically what the difference is in ride height.

no need to flame me like that and if furious94ls didn't want me posting, they would have sent me a PM.
