Im lookin for a good coilover system and i dont know what i should get for my 94 ls. Does anyone have any suggestions on what i should get.
Thanx

Ground Control.

Do NOT get skunk2's, they are a bouncy and rough ride.

 

Though not a "true" coilover system, I enjoyed my GC/Bilstein setup alot on the street, auto-x's, and HPDE's.

 

Depends on what your budget is and how much adjustability you are looking for. If you are on a limited budget then you could go w/ the gc's as they are going to offer the best ride quality for a "sleeve over" kit. If your struts are toast then you might want to consider going w/ the tein basic dampner kit which in a essence is a coilover kit w/ new struts. They dont offer any dampening which is okay since not everybody needs or cares for that. The tein ss are virtually the same as the basic kit except it offers 16 way adjustabiliy to cater to what you are looking for. There are other kits on the market which are great also, these are just the kits that I have installed and can vouch for the quality. Take care, Andy

 

I looked at the Ground Control coil overs on nopi and it says "for Blistein" what does that mean?

 

do a search before you just ask a very vague question

what do you need it for adjustable ride height or road courses? stop throwing out random names

 

GROUND CONTROL Suspension Kit - (for Bilstein)
this is what it says on nopi under 1994 Acura Integra. Can anyone tell me what (for blistein) means?

 

Use "coilovers" for an archived search in the ITR forum.

 

Maybe you should look into what your budget is, as well as what spring rate your are looking for, not just random brands that other people shout out.

 

ground controls with tokico illuminas are what im running and i love the ride ...ive also rode in a integra with ground controls woth kyb agx's and the ride was good too ....and when Nopi says ground control for bilstein ...that means that the ground controls are meant to fit or work with just bilstein shocks ...but they make ground controls that work with other types and brands of shocks also ....

 

as u can probably tell im dont know very much about suspension. So if i have a 94 integra ls and i buy ground control coil overs (for blistein) is there anything else i will need?

 

I deleted all the random posts with just names.

In order for us to help him decide whats best for him, we need more information.

What are your plans? DO you want to AutoX or Track driving? Do you just want to be sLizzAmm3d fo' dA StR33tz?

What do YOU want out of your car?

 

yea what do you plan on doing alot of ...i say ground controls with agx's or tokicos adjustables are a good setup for a little of both ...i never rode in a integra equiped with bilstein shocks ...also i hear koni shocks are very good too ...so let us know what the plans are for your car are ...

 

heres what i plan on doing with my car. I want a show car that i drive everday. Its gunna have a bomex kit on it so i want it lowered about an inch or 2. So basically when it comes to shocks i just want it lowered and still have a comfortable ride on the road.

 

get h&r sport springs and kyb gr2 or tokico blue shocks. That will be fine for your needs.

 

rs*r spring are also good ...

 

Get some zeal b6s...i am getting them in a month when i get back to school.

 

ground controls or skunk2

 

SKunk2, i love mine...

 

ummmm... do the search that I suggested, narrow your choice down to 3 or 4 and then ask the question again. The secret is to ignore the people who make comments with real experience and the people who are biased toward one particular setup without being able to suggest an alternative.

I would pretty much recommend Tein because I have it... So I would sum that these are the most common available setups for the DC2 3rd Generation Integras... rated from least expensive to expensive as well as worst to best.

- Tein Basics (Does not come with dampening adjustment levels). Your friend will be better off with a Koni/Ground Control matched setup.

- Tein SS (Full function of a matched coilover setup with the dampening levels suitable for daily driving).

- Tein HA (discontinued from the Tein website, but this is more like the bigger brother of the Tein SS...upgraded features include a helper spring, stiffer spring rate, stiffer dampening settings, etc. Usually designed for the DC2-R, if your friend wants it for his DC2, then he must swap out his rear lower control arms for its Type-R counterpart.)

Thats the setup I have...it cost me $950 (no pillowball uppermount which isnt required...only if you want to tear out your chassy, hehehe) for the HAs + $127 for the R LCAs.

Theres also the:

Tein Flex which can accomodate the Tein EDFC electronic dampening control unit...that's stuff for the more serious auto-x'er, track driver. Also costs mucho $$$$ .

I would also recommend the Apex'i N1 World Sports Damper.

If you've got the extra dough, there's JIC Magic, GABs, etc.

What's your budget anyway so I can further help you out?

cheers
NRG

 

Has anyone tried ground control coil overs with tokico hp shocks? If so is it a good setup

 

^ go for the illuminas or agx's thats a good setup or koni adjustables with the ground controls ...i also hear buddy club makes a good dampener kit too ...
