i would never drop that car that much with 17's
what brand springs?

and do yourself a favor and take off that 3rd post because an LS is never VTEC, unless it was converted to an LS/VTEC motor which is a whole nother story.

no it should be ok but I would get a nice set of shocks to go w/ the springs your gonna blow the stockies out in no time. And as for your second ? its vtec not vtech and It says VTEC on the valve cover duh. For future reference use the search option most things you will have to ask have alredy been coverd 1000 times. Good luck nubie

yea i didnt think so. i wanted to do a little over a 1" drop. well, i didnt know the difference in the ls's and the actual vtecs. i dont usually work w/integras but i got the car from someone and was tryin to learn more about them so i could decide if i wanna start on it or pass it on

You dont know **** man let me brake it down for u.

1. GSR's and Type R's are the only integras that came stock w/ VTEC engines

2. LS RS GS are all non vtec

3. all GSR's and TYPE R's come w/ VTEC written on valve cover no matter what year

Do some f---ing research before u say **** u have no clue about

in my DA, i put my s2 coil over perches to the bottom of the sleeves w/ 17's.... while rim diameter may be different, overall wheel diameter was damn close (23inch~ish). i had 3.5"-4" drop, i dont know, never measure it. i still ride like that.
