Two questions:

1. How much suspension travel do you have between the top of the shock body and the bottom of the bumpstop on the shaft, on the front? What suspension setup?

2. What is your ride height? Measured from the four jack points under the car, rim lip to fender, or gound to fender.

I just finished the install and I am looking for some baseling settings that I should adjust to. I am running Bilstein/Ground Control and 195/50/15 tires

 

these questions can probably be better answered if you give us some insight on what your intentions are for the car...... show, street stability, or track use?

 

.. and what spring rates and type (linear or progressive) you are using.

 

400f 500r, billstien sports, ITR rear LCA's, Agressive street and a dozen or so weekends at the track each year

 

well you need to look at fender gap and such....as you dive hard into a corner is your wheel gonna rub the fender well? i don't know alot about integra setups so i will let someone more qualified aswer your question

 

Generally, you won't want to lower the car more than an inch or inch&half without shortened shocks and stiffer springs than you are using. Since you are only running 195 tires, fender clearance shouldn't be an issue, but keep it in mind when making adjustments. You will be more worried with travel and not hitting bumpstops. As for what the exact ride height will be, I have no idea.

 

A good way to tell if you have enough travel is to use a zip tie...tie it as tight as you can around the shaft, flush against the top of the shock body. Go out and drive the car in a manner that you'll get the most need for travel (Turn very hard, basically, in an empty parking lot or even better, on the track). Go back and take a look and see how high on the shaft the zip-tie is. If it's up against the bottom of the bumpstop, than it needs to be raised. HTH, Mike

 

With those spring rates you can lower your car a bit more then if you were running some progressive street springs. But as others have said, more then 1-2 inches is probably too much.
