don't know anyone in the states that makes a "dedicated" gravel/rally suspension.

a lot of the amateur rally guys around here run Bilstein shocks with integra gsr springs. yes, the stock gsr springs. it'll keep your height up giving you good travel. the springs are higher rate, so you won't bottom out ether. shocks are amazing for this type of racing.

The GSR never had different springs than the base RS/LS/GS Integras...

We've done a number of different things for a few Stage, and Rally X clients with extended and inverted monotube dampers. This setup raises the car over an inch, and provides the needed suspension travel, and durability needed for this form of racing.
A lot of weekend warrior guys run the Bilstein OEM Replacement shocks with stock springs if your looking for something a bit more affordable which was suggested above. If you want something customized then look to spend anywhere from 1700-3,000 dollars for a custom setup for Gravel.
