Default springs soon....

GROSS! WTF! EWWW! Those are the reactions to my hideous wheel gap you see below. Im going to do Eibach Pro Kit. However, I am not sure if I will be doing any shock/strut work. Does anybody have a good article with pics about shocks and struts? I want to learn more about them before I decide on buying them. Check this out....this price seems REAL cheap. Almost too cheap, I thought these springs cost like 300?

Description:90-93 Acura Integra (2/4 Door, Incl. GS-R) Eibach Prokit Spring System
This Spring System is for 90-93 Integra (2/4 Door, Incl. GS-R) models.
Eibach Part #: 4010.140
Approx. Lowering:Front: 1.4 Rear: 1.0
Price: $130.95

*Note The tezzas are going away as soon as I can get my hands on some stock tails. Black rims are also coming soon.

With an older car like yours, I'm not so sure how the stock struts would hold up to stiffer aftermarket springs. My suggestion is to go with a good yet affordable strut, like the KYB AGX. Good stuff.

Other than that, you're off to a good start! Good luck losing the Altezzas!

i would lower it more than what the pro kit is gonna drop it.. its still gonna have alot of wheel gap. go with the the Sportline kit.. looks awesome.

if you dont mind a bumpy/bouncy ride, then go with stock shocks. id suggest going with somthing like KYB AGX or Tokico Illuminas

they are 16 inch rims...the wheel gap has since been closed a little bitt when I got bigger 205/45 yokos. I am truly afraid of dropping it even 1 inch. With the body kit, I have to be careful not to scrape anything how it is right now.

he's all show, no go, its very obvious....so a set of springs will do him just fine.

no shocks required.

what is wrong with black rims? If you dont have silver or black...well there are really not too many more different colors. Gunmetal...

I would just go ahead and get the prokit springs. I have them and they are great. I would suggest you go ahead and save your money and get the Koni yellows. They are more expensive but they are the best IMHO.
