Best way to lower my DA

[pravistasinski]

Hello I just bought my first Integra its a 91 real clean and I want to lower it about an inch maybe 1.5 inches but I cant really drop it far because my apartment complex has redonk speed bumps:x. Just want to know what spring/strut setup would be good or whats the best route im still learning everything.


Thanks

My recommendations:

Eibach Sportlines for springs with Koni struts. Very comfy.

Ground Control with Koni struts for coilovers. Others tell me it's very comfy.

^He knows what he is talking about. My Koni Yellow/Ground Control set up is amazing!

I have eibach sport lines on TruHart short struts(some brand sold here on CI) and the ride is pretty comfortable. It's a tad stiff I'm guessing because its a shorter strut and I'm a bit lower for the same reason.

if you aren't looking to get new shocks & springs you could also look at Neuspeed lowering springs.. they would drop you about 1.5"

Im Also In the progress of lowering my 91 Tegg bro & Ive read & heard that Function & Form Coilovers R The Way 2 Go If You Dnt Wnt 2 Spend 1k to lower your whip.

So that would be the only thing I would have to buy? Lowering springs?

^^THIS!!!! J/k I wouldn't recommend putting lowering springs on your OEM struts. You will find out very quickly ( like a few of us) that OEM struts don't like lowering springs. I suggest you go with 1 of 3 setups:

1. Lowering springs and suitable struts
2. GC sleeves and suitable struts
3 or a full coil over package which is actually the most expensive method.

You will also require a proper alignment and a camber kit (depending on how low you plan on going)

how much are you planning to spend. Im rode in Function Form and they are pretty good, im as well in progress in lowering my car. So im planning to get a set of Function Form type 1

for DAs... suspension techiques adjustable forks is a good alternative.

Im looking to do it the cheap but effective because im buying other parts for the car too

I've learned that cheap and effective don't mix well. You need to pick one or you will regret it. I going with the koni setup with GC. Its the second best option and several hundred less then the best if you hunt for the prices.

So if I were to get Tein High. Tech Springs and put them on my stock struts, thats a bad idea?
