i haven't had that issue, but then again, even with springs, your car dosen't sit perfectly cause i use to have springs, and on one side i would get tire rub in the front when i made u turns fast, and all the other sides were perfectly fine, but if u do your research tien is the best stuff out on the market...but in the end it is up too u, and what u are planning to do...

If your looking for a 1 inch drop check out the H&R oe springs but believe me you will not be satisfied with the look.

How much then? I don't want it too low. I want it to still be safe to drive on the streets and not have to worry that I might bottom out if I hit a little hole.

I have my car lowered 2 inches. It is a bit low for the shitty OC roads but not unbearable. It does look pretty sick though. I would recommend 1.3-1.5 inch drop if you are worried about pot holes/ruts/steep driveways. I would lower it and throw a rear swaybar on and call it a day. Don't waste your time or money with those useless strut bars. You should also consider aftermarket struts if you decide to go with springs since the OEM are not well suited for the lowered height and changed spring rates.

Thanks. I was planning on doing the stut bar and a sway bar. When I go deep in a sharp turn I can notice a flex a litte in the front as opposed to a freind's car who has a strut bar so I'm going to get the strut bar. Not usless on Integras. Yea I was thinking of a 1.25 drop

Sorry, I though you had a GSR. The GSR comes with the strut bar stock. I guess it would be a worthwhile investment but you will see much better handling characteristics from a thicker rear swaybar with proper reinforcement, of course.

Moneys always an issue but Koni Yellows are worth every penny.

Tires?

IMHO everything else is secondary
