Suspension setup?
i have a 90 civic sedan in which i did a 90 integra ls suspension swap front and rear. i was just wondering what will be the best setup for my daily driver. should i get civic struts with integra springs, or should i get integra struts with civic springs. just want to know the pros and cons of each setup.

You're putting stock shocks and springs on?

Re: Suspension setup? (artifex)
Um, well, the DA integra shocks are longer than the civic shocks - which is why a lot of the DA owners buy civic shocks and have very low cars. So, if you already have a Civic with Integra springs and shocks swapped in, I am assuming your car is about 1/2 to 1 inch higher than stock?
If that's the case, I would go back to the civic shocks and civic springs. I guess you could try Integra shocks with civic springs, might be a little lower than it is now, but not by much. I think the spring perch is about the same height on the EF and DA shocks, but the DA just has a longer shock body and shaft. I am all for matching suspension components, so I would leave it as is, or go back to the civic setup.
