I'd like it to sit low enough to where I could still put a body kit on and not worry about scraping over RR tracks and so on. Also would want somewhat of a smooth ride not to worried about that though.

I heard that Apexi full coil-overs comes with a camber kit but I don't know that for a fact.

What kind of engine should I swap with?? (I was choosing between H22 and B16)

Also what's the difference between H22a 92-95 & H22a 97+ and the difference between B16A G2 92-95 & B16A 96+

Should the B18c be included in my decision also??

rsx type s K20.

on this board.. Koni are highly praised.
those illuminas will be fine. or u can try kyb agx. i think they maybe a little but cheaper.
i got omnipower street coilovers. they kinda stiff though for daily driving...
make sure u get a camber kit if ur dropping 2.0-2.25" dude

Have you ever heard of ZENN Lowering Springs??
ZENN Lowering Springs


If I got these Ground Control Springs would I need shocks also?? What would be a good set of shocks to go with these??

never heard of Zenn :confused:
and yes you would need shocks with those coilover "sleeves".

Would the Ground Controls and the Illuminas be a good combo??

Im running tokico blues with ground control coilovers on my 93. I couldn't be happier with them and for the price they were a great deal (paid $200, slightly used :oh:)

GC + Koni yellow > GC + illuminas > poop > GC's with blues.
