Cheapest way to a full coilover...

[Avocado Roll]

Previous owner installed Tokiko shocks and a coilover sleeve (I think Megan)

I want to get a full coilover set - and thinking of going used as I am not a big spender on the cars.

Would a '93 civic coilover set fit?

Also, anyone find 1" spacers for the 4-bolt pattern? Only one I found was $150 per pair. I was thinking of machining a set, or just swapping my rims.

DO NOT buy 1 inch spacers, swap rims.

I know that 92-95 civic coils fit on 94-01 integras but, someone else will have to clarify

correct!^^ but remember the spring rates wont be the same....

Buy some FnF Type 1's

Thanx guys! My Teg is 2nd Gen, 1990, so I'm guessing a '93 civic suspension won't fit.

As for spacers, was thinking swap rims myself. Sad b/c I just got a new set of Drag Dr20's. Love them but with only 195's and not near flush, I'll be looking for something wider.

What are FnF Type 1's?

Function and Form Type 1 coilovers.

Tein Basic Coilovers.

God Speed Coilovers.

Blackworks coilovers.

They can be made to work, but they don't work all that well. It's a hybrid suspension that you really don't want to do.

I can tell you now, it will fit but the rear will sag.

Yep. Mine did. I had the coil sleeves at the very top and the wheels were still tucking in the back.

Yeah I don't want a loose rear. I already have the megan coil sleeves and the rear is too soft. The front, on the other hand, is stiff to the point that (with my aftermarket sway-bars) gives me wheel lift. I'm thinking of swapping front/rear springs to have the rears harder than the front.
