Default Ground Control application question

So I've got a set of sleeves for my Integra, and a set of springs on the way. My question is simple. Are there any differences in the sleeves/springs between Integra and S2000 applications? I'm sure there's spring length differences, but I'd imagine the ID of the springs would be the same. If nothing applies, oh well, I buy another set.

Thanks.

AFAIK, Ground Control uses only 2.5" inner diameter springs for all of their Honda coilover kits, so all you'd have to worry about are the lengths. Generally you'd want an 8" front spring and a 7" rear spring for a '94-01 Integra, so as long as their S2000 kit uses similar springs, you should be fine. I've no idea if they do; your best bet would be to call Ground Control and ask at 530-677-8600.

Thats what I was figuring also. I was gonna give GC a call last night, but I was busy at work and didn't get a chance. I may do so tonight.

Just called GC, the only thing that would work is the 8in front spring. They use a different sleeve and rear spring. Oh well.

i used the sleeves from my CRX kit (same as the integras), non-koni, and they fit on the S2000 without the lower spring cup EXCEPT you have to bore it out just a bit, like .008" .5" depth for it to really fit. wasnt a problem if you have a machinist with a lathe. it just tapers out just a bit at the bottom ring. but otherwise, it wouldnt fit without stretching the metal.

and it worked fine for over a year on my S2000 with something around 275-400 lb springs. cant remember exactly what i neded up with, i experimented a few times.
and it didnt blow out the stock shocks. they were on a spare set i got and put my stock suspension back in recently and the ride was pretty much the same.

i only lowered it .5".

you like my JDM showa shocks?

lefts are front. right are rears but the logo is upside down. the perch is upside down too. the unthreaded part of the sleeve fits inside the rear spring perch cup.
