Integra_boomer Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Alright so i a 90 Integra and im already in need of front struts. On top of that I want to lower my car so do it need to buy new mabey better front stuts and lowering springs, and use the old rear struts with the new springs or should i just buy all new stuts? Im new to this so i have no idea what my options are.

white4d96 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Buy all new struts. Your stockers will NOT like being lowered. My brother liked KYB AGX struts on his Integra, but that was a DC2 and not a DA Quote Too many projects, too little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason313 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Or you could just get coil overs so you can lower to where you want it I had teins on mine and I also liked ground controls just don't go cheap cause it will ride horible Quote 2 18" fi btls 2 sprinter batts 165ah 1 cresenscdo 3k 1 mechman 270a 1 kinetik 2000 under hood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug118 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 there are a select few on here who actually know about honda's and what they do and don't like. let us know exactly how much you're willing to spend and we will find you the best setup for the money. just remember, the less you spend, the shittier it's going to be Quote 2001 Tahoe.

Loudcivic Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) well its gonna cost more than you would think and i would suggest getting a adjustable coil over setup so you can adjust it just the way you want. a lot of people just get springs but most of them are not happy with how it is. its either to low or to high. these are not to bad: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FUNCTION-FORM-TYPE-1-COILOVERS-INTEGRA-90-93-DA-NEW-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZMakeQ3aAcuraQ7cModelQ3aIntegraQ7cYearQ3a1990QQhashZitem3a52ed70e6QQitemZ250499395814QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_1374wt_897 these are ok to: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SKUNK2-FULL-COILOVER-SUSPENSION-KIT-ACURA-INTEGRA-90-93-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQfitsZMakeQ3aAcuraQ7cModelQ3aIntegraQ7cYearQ3a1990QQhashZitem5196007208QQitemZ350408962568QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_2911wt_939 i will tell you this. some people like certain setups and others hate them. a lot of people are finding koni yellows struts(cant adjust ride height) and ground control coil overs to be one of the best setups with an option to get top hats to go even lower and still have decent ride. its really up to you and how much you wanna spend EDIT: look at the poll lol this will tell you how popular the setup i said above is. http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=2554074 also some more info. looks like a lot of people are going with 350 front and 300 rear spring rates for a good daily driver with the adjustable damper on the strut set to soft. i myself will be switching to koni's if i keep my hatch Edited January 2, 2011 by Loudcivic Quote 2015 silverado crew cab nothing atm but soon...

doug118 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 I doubt he wants to spend $900+ on struts and coilovers... but god knows I sure as hell did in the pictures they are half-way down and the car rode MUCH better then any stock honda of that generation I've ever been in. the coilovers spun all the way down will allow the car to sit flat on the ground after some mods to the strut towers Quote 2001 Tahoe.
