Thinking suspension...
 
I have been told to get Integra rated shocks and springs for a stiffer ride and better handling. I just wanted to ask some questions about this while I'm thinking about it.

Are these just aftermarket shocks made to fit the 94-00 Integra? Will they fit the Sol alright?

Did y'all actually mean the springs? Get Integra rated springs? Will ones rated for the GS-R fit the Sol?

Thanks in advance, I'm really looking in to getting this car handling well.

I bought the shocks for a 95 teg. Work great. The coilovers I'm running were actually for a 92 civic... The combo works great.

Is it okay to use Teg springs?

Bakeoff 10-05-2003 05:57 PM

it might ride a hair higher, and might be a bit more stiff. All depends on what you want. Could be shitty (too stiff) or kick ass (nice and stiff!!!)

I guess I'll go Teg shocks and sol springs. I wonder which combo would give me better handling.

Now onto shocks. I'm trying to decide between Koni yellow, KYB, and Tokico. I don't know too much about the Koni though. What are their benefits?

koni yellows are super adjustable; either 8 or 16 way, i can't recall; and koni will revalve them to match whatever spring weight you want, for a fee that is.

Thanks for the info. I didn't even know they were adjustable. That puts them high on my list now.

WrongWD 10-08-2003 09:54 PM

no problem; yeah the yellows are adjustable whereas the reds are not; though don't underestimate them, the reds still rock, i have em on my bmw

Bakeoff 10-09-2003 02:20 PM

adjustables:
AGX
illumina
koni yellows (externally)
koni reds (for some models, not all are adjustable, and I believe only adjustable internally)
etc, etc

For the money, you can't beat the agx's. I've gone through more sets of tokico blues than I care to think about. And my kyb's are holding fine.
