Coil Overs or Springs
hey guys, i got a 95 Integra RS, and i got wheels for it, but it looks like a SUV when its not lowered so i was thinking of getting some coil overs. I dont know much about suspension or which brands are good and everything, but i was looking at some of them but they range from like 65-200 bucks, so i was just wandering if you guys could recommend me some brands with their prices. Here is the link to the ebay auctions where they sell the coil overs. Also how hard is it to install coil overs or springs, and how much would it cost if i got em installed somewhere.

If you want coilovers I would get ground controls. They are the best coil slevees. If you get them I highly recommend getting new shocks to handle the higher spring rate. Those cheaper ebay coilover kits are usually junk since the springs on most of them are not high quality and usually the perches rust out and what you save on them you'll be spending later on getting new ones.
For $200 stick with a good spring/shock setup. I would try searching the forum for some good spring/shock combos, and then if you still have questions we could probably point you in the right direction.
The Ground Control limited editions are $299 (coilover sleeves), so you'll still need to shell out cash for aftermarket shocks. You *can* run on the stock shocks provided you don't drop the car more than 1.5". I would stay away from $50 ebay brand "coilovers" if at all possible.

For that money you probably won't be able to get damping adjustable shocks or height adjusting coilover sleeves which are any good. Remember, you get what you pay for.
For cheap, you're probably looking at Tokico blues with Neuspeed springs or something in that neighborhood. Maybe KYB makes non adjustable shocks. If they did, then those would probably be cheaper.

getting springs would be better to get if you dont plan on replacing your shocks. coilovers play hell with stock shocks because of the spring rates. how far do you plan on dropping your car?
If you go with Ground Control, I have a set for sale that I had on my car for about 7 months that I took off just a few days ago. I put on a Tokico kit with 5-way shocks and their springs as well. I paid $475 for the whole kit. I HIGHLY recommend this setup, it rides and handles incredibly.
the kit you found was for the non-adjustable shock kit. i don't know how good those shocks are, but from what i have heard, they are a little soft, and not being adjustable, you pretty much have to just live with them. good luck.
