Default Just intalled H&R Sports & Kyb AGX... Pics! 56k beware! (i'm serious this time)

Just had a shop install it for me today. They cut the bumstops in half (the guy said it was better), even though the instructions said not to for the integra. The ride is very nice. I messed with the settings and did 3front and 4back on the struts and that **** was stiff as a ****! I could feel everything on the road, but it tends to get a lil bouncy. Right now i'm riding on 2 front and 3 back, which feels a little stiffer than stock and rides nice. Before I installed the springs I had a 3 finger fender gap and now i have a 1-1.5 finger gap. How long does it take for the springs & struts to settle? How much more of a drop will it be after it settles? Overall i'm very satisfied with the drop . My ******' camber in the front is bad though, i'm going to get an aliment done soon. Do you guys reccomend getting all 4 tires done or just the front? Cuz i only see bad camber in the front but the back might be a lil.

it is big: 2048x1356 pixels....will take more than a min to download for 56kers.

BTW: not to burst a bubble, but springs do not settle, they sag over time.

Nice drop. Before --- After
Buy the front camber kit [I recommend Ingalls & not the imitations], then get all four wheels aligned. That way, you will save some $$$ in the long run.

The drop is too small for my tastes. I have H&R Race and it takes away all the wheel gap.

When you take apart suspension parts more than just the camber changes. Get yourself an ingalls front kit (or better yet go skunk2) and longer bolts and washers for the rear. Take it to a shop that SPECIFIES in alignments, none of that BIG O crap.

I have the same setup and I love it, the way it handles, looks, and rides is very nice. The only thing is I have a gen 2 and I think that my car sits a little lower stock then yours stock, so naturally I scrape on speed bumps

I really don't think you have enough of a drop to warrant a camber kit. Get yourself a good alignment, make sure they get the toe to 0 and rotate the tires every 5k. You should be totally fine.

Another tip: Learn to resize those pics or set your camera to a lower res. It's painful to try and see the whole car.
