Default Attn: All Integras with lowering kits

Please the following:
A few good pictures
Spring type and drop size
Rim size, tire measurements
Any issues, any comments

I'd like to create a thread or a page with a database of the different drops.

What do you guys think?

I'll start it out



Stock DC2 springs
Stock tires, 14" steelies

No issues other than..too high..

BTW I just bought this teg a few months ago and it's sitting in storage at my house 2 and a half hours away from my place in minneapolis. it's my 2nd integra.

Um I'm pretty sure those are 14" steelies and covers.

And since you didn't really post a side shot, I'll post this one with stock suspension:


Stock 15x6 wheels and 205/50-15 tires.

Now with aftermarket suspension:


H&R Sport springs (JUNK)
Koni Sport shocks, front perch at stock position, rear perch at lowest position
~2.5" drop in front, ~3" drop in back
Still stock 15x6 wheels and 205/50-15 tires.

Sorry, I meant 14"

Any chance you could post exactly why you feel the H&R Sports are so bad?

Eibach prokit with KYB AGX Adjustables. 1.3~1.5" drop front & rear
Stock 14" hudcaps. forgot tire size.

Small issue: Front appears to be higher than rear due to front wheel well being larger than rear. But actually is a even drop.

Because they lowered the car so much, but the spring rate is only ~276 lb/in, which is WAY too soft for that amount of drop. The springs did not sag, it has been this low ever since I installed them over a year ago. I will be switching to custom-rate Koni Ground Controls when I get the money.

IH8RICERZ, why do you give skunk2 a 3.5/5... whats was everything rated on? is the ride stiff or what? im not too concerned about comfort right now, i want to handle well... does ur setup accomplish that?

Picture of my car before it got stolen... I have black 5ZRs on it now...


SETUP:
- Tein Type-HA [rear ITR LCAs w/ITR 22mm sway]
- No wheel-gap all around [I can't tell you the exact drop amount]
- 18" *bling* 5Zigen 5ZR wrapped in 215/35/18 Pirelli tires [dont flame, I've got a set of smaller rims for track use].

COMMENTS:
- Front rubs on very heavy U-turns.
- No front or back wheel well.
- No camber kit, but amazingly, tire wears out evenly.
- Tuned stiffness settings to my preference [+3 for the front, +4 for the back].
- Car rides very comfortable and can handle corners at high speeds .

cheers
NRG
