Oh yah and pictures would be great, im currenlty deciding how i wanna drop my ek hb, i was thinking h&R race or sport springs with kyb adjustable shocks.

How Much Was It Dropped: 1.5"
Price: $180 for the springs, about $360 for the shocks
Your Personal Opinion: Koni makes high quality products. Had some Progress and H&R springs but the Progress sagged and the H&R were to much of a drop 2.5" Eibach and Koni are good combo

Full Coilovers (springs and shocks): Tein Ha's in front

Camber A Issue: No got a camber kit.. which reminds me I need to get it aligned since the Tein's have been installed

Re: What is your suspension setup? (Cav)
Shocks: 01 ITR
Coil-overs: OTS Integra Ground Control
Swaybars: Stock 21mm front, no rear.
How Much Was It Dropped: *shrug* 1.5 fingers gap
Price: ~400
Your Personal Opions: Very neutral set-up, able to induce lift throttle oversteer at will. Too soft for serious competition, need 100-150lb stiff springs and adjustable / better valved shocks. 22mm swaybar would be nice in addition to that.
Camber A Issue: Negative camber is a good thing, up to a certain point. Rotate your tires regularly and keep up on the tire pressure.
Everyone add swaybar info please, it's helpful, too.

Re: What is your suspension setup? (purek9hybrid)
Springs: NA
Shocks: Stock Honda Shocks
Coilovers: RS Racing (Arospeed)
Full Coilovers (springs and shocks): NA
How Much Was It Dropped: 1 Finger Gap Around...roughly 2.5" in front 2" in back
Price: $120 Shipped
Your Personal Opinions: I absolutely love it...it was the best $120 i've ever spent. Really weird, because I was expecting the shittiest ride in the world. However, there is a considerable reduction in body roll, and with the stock shocks the ride is very very smooth...I don't recommend hardcore driving enthusiasts or people with lots of money to get these, but for kids that don't have an arm and a leg to spend on suspension, and who want a lower stance and much better cornering ability, it does the job just fine
Camber A Issue: A bit...but not enough to make me need to do anything about it
