Default Need help dropping the car?

Watup guys, ok i got a 94 integra, and i just want to drop it a little bid but i dont know which way i want to do it. I was lookin on ebay and they got these 60-90 coil overs but i dont really know if those are any good. Also i was lookin at just getting some springs instead of coil overs but i dont know which one is better or worse. I wanna spend somewhere around 150 bucks, i know its not too much but id rather spend my money on buyin other parts rather than lowering it. Tell me if you guys have any good web sites or any ideas on what i should do cause imma be running on my stock shocks. Thanks for input.

If you don't lower it correctly you will regret it. You need to get some good shocks like kyb's and get some springs. It's well worth it.

i would save some money until you can afford some shocks that can handle the lowering springs.

If you cheap out, you will have to replace the shocks when they can't keep up with the new springs, which means you have to do the job twice, if you don't do it right the first time.

im on my way to changing my springs also. the fronts are easy. the rear, the only problem i can think of is the stubborn LCA bolt. but a can of penatrating oil should help.

You sound kinda lost dude.

Suspension is one thing you wanna research for a long time efore you put it onto your car. Try to search for "springs" and figure out how much each spring drops and which ones have the better reputations. I reccomend team-integra.net's articles.

Like everybody is saying suspension is one thing you DON'T wanna cheap out on bro.

Good luck!!

if you want to drop your car for cheap i'd say get some H&R race springs and some tokico blue struts, it wont be the greatest suspension but it wouldn't be bad, and it'd prob be less than $400
