I haven't tested its limits yet but I can tell you its more then enough for the street. I got the GSR SS setup. Springs are decent.

Ya way more than you can use on the street. I drove to chi town (400 miles) the other week and was pretty happy. The lightest settings works well for long road trips. Crank it up and you can nail corners Like Woah

I'll be in the market for a set end of May. Ryan, are you able to get a hold of these fairly easy? I'll be contacting you for a set.

Q: If I were to get the integra application for my 93 civic cx, would I have to change the LCA's to integra ones?

i will chime in and say that i like mine. i had just the fronts on for so long and i thought the rears would make a difference. when straight it is so calm but in the turns the car stays nice and flat and your flap around inside your body. i like it. i wish that i didnt live on a fairly flat island. its ok mapquest owns me now, all curved roads will be found.

HAs are pretty stiff.....if you are looking for something firmer than SSs (I don't know why really, I love my SSs on the Heeltoe EG), go with the FLEX.....they are stiffer and have more adjustment FLEXablity....

They make them, but they discontinued them for the US market...TEIN deemed them a little on the stiff side for our generally fucked up roads. The SS is a better system for everyday driving.....The FLEX was designed to be stiffer like the HA, but to allow a lot more travel retaining good ride quality.

With the FLEX, upper pillows are standard, and height adjustment is allowed individualy from spring preload. Nice system. I have it on our Heeltoe WRX...

I thought so too but it does work on some SS applications. Look on Tein's site. the EDFC works with some SS apps (Hood clearance is going ot be another issue).
