Can you recommend struts and springs or coilovers for a 1992 Integra GSR? My budget is $500 and I don't want to lower the car too much. I will be driving on the street, not on the track. Please post urls to reputable places with low prices to order from.

Not sure if these would fit a 92 or not. You want to ask...but if they do, this is a steal price.

a good set willl cost you upwards of $800-- just using springs will kill your ride and i would suggest using a set of tiens or compraable models

i'm not sure if gssr's tiens wil lwork with your integra as there are different dampening rates and spring rates needed for a 90-93

http://weaksauceparts.com/store/prod...cat=336&page=1 i'd suggest those becuase they offer a good ammount of adjutability and a pretty agressive spring.

Not going to be easy to do right for $500.

If you want coilovers, I'd go Koni & Ground Control. Probably one of the best setups for the street.

He can get a set springs, struts and a camber kit for that. Used...

Bilstein HD's with stock springs. Won't lower it at all, but the ride is nice and tight.
I had H&R OEM sports and even they lowered it too much for my driving conditions (only supposed to be .75 inch).
shox.com -should be about $400 shipped.

I had the OE Sports on my 95 GSR and they do lower it more like 1" after settling. Probably not stiff enough with stock shocks though. If you stick with stock shocks and something like OE sports (which wouldn't require a camber kit) will be OK, but it isn't going to handle as well as getting better shocks too. Basically it is the same labor for the springs and the shocks, so do them at the same time.

There was a really good deal for KYB GR-2s on eBay from a reputable shop (like $165!). Sorry, I don't have a link though.

KYB AGX shocks with Neuspeed Race/Sport springs. The GR-2's are a decent shock as well if you wanted to get a cheaper shock and camber kits.

I would recommend Koni Yellows and Ground Controls or a lowering spring, but that would exceed your budget.

There are no rear KYB AGX for 1992 Integra GSR. How much of a drop with ground control springs? How much do ground control springs cost?

GC is a sleeved coilover. The ride height is adjustable. They are ~$330 as the sleeve and spring. That would make the setup out of your price range.

Do they have GR-2's available for your model? If so, like I said before, those with a decent lowering spring will be well within your price range and offer a decent ride.
