Suspension Drivability
As of now I'm a novice when it comes to suspension so bare with me here. I have a 98 Integra LS with a drag turbo kit at 14psi. My car right now looks like a 4 wheeler with a snail on it and I was thinking about dropping it an inch or two to make the car flow a little better. I've always been a bit scared to mess with anything suspension wise because I want to retain driving comfort as much as possible. My question is what springs or coilover kits are around so that I can retain good drivability while still dropping it an inch or two. Let me know of you experiences good or bad of any kits you've bought.
thanks for the info.

i know H&R makes lowering springs that are supposed to ribe about the same as stock but preform alittle better i think they are called OE springs, so does eibach. there are a few other companies that makes some like that. any time you are lowering ur car on stock shock it can cause exess stress on them so u might want check some out.
Koni makes SUPERB shocks. I highly advise the Koni Yellows, as Koni has been in the shocks business since 1932. They know their stuff. Yellows have adjustable rebound/dampening as well. 
From there on, choose your coil. I advise a Neuspeed Sport spring for your application. I hear Tein S.Techs aren't too bad either.
Just an FYI, I'd highly advise ditching the OEM shocks. They're not designed for lowered automobiles.

i agree with you except i like the bilstein non adjustables, the reason for this is even though koni yellows are a great shock i have noticed that one can be set to hard and another set half way and they are the same, i amnt saying they dont adjust correctly, turning them soft makes them softer and turning them hard makes them harder, but i had 2 cars with them and to get them all the same or close to the same on a dyno they were all adjusted differntly. for street driving thats no biggie. but i prefer a shock that is set at a good setting that you cant ruin because i tend to fidget and make things worse not better!
my new project will be running bilstein S shocks and H&R race springs, but my ride will be STIFF.. btw i have heard nothing but good things about the tien s techs
