what your budget?

id go with a set of Tein SS coilovers for an integra. I think u have to change the rear lca tho. $875 shipped.

cant go wrong with a set of ground controls and koni yellows.

Buddy CLub Racing Spec on custom Eibach spring rates

or a GC/Koni setup with custom rates would be best.

All depends on your sway bar setups, etc.

For most ;people, a "JDM" coilover setup will only make the car push as bad is not worse than stock.

how much do you want to spend?

if you are on a budget go with some agx's and h&r springs or if you want something a little more expensive maybe some tein basics will work perfect for you. Its all up to your budget.

GC coilovers with custom spring rates and Koni Sports are the best bang for the buck IMHO.

I've got a 1993 Si and I've got KYB AGX's with Tein S-Tech springs. I see no reason to do anything more severe than this for street driving: you get adjustable struts, a nice, conservative drop and fabulous handling when combined with other suspension components.

Just my $.02.

Imo they're just a bit too soft but are great for daily driven cars. I also have ST front sway bar and SRR rear sway bar/tie bar combo & SRR rear lca's .

On My 1992 Si HB I have Nuespeed Race Integra springs. I plan on getting KYB AGX shocks. Had Nuespeed race CIVIC, then dropped in my GS-R And HOPPED liked a SCARED BUNNY while launching. Also with the Civic Race springs my car sat very very low..((beautiful look)) but cost me seven axles, kept snapping on launch. Now with the INTEGRA RACE SPRINGS the car sits a little higher so no axle binding anymore and very smooth launches..

By the way
1993 Honda Civic Si --- Nice Car

Goodluck my SI brother
As a HB I Tilt My SUNROOF To you
