Those are coilover sleeves. I'd get F&F full coilovers, I heard they had the most bang for your buck.

There are some good brands out there that will run you about $500 and up. If you know what your doing not that long at all.

actually has an FB6 now.
i purchased my Integra from a dude that installed eGay coilovers. they are still on as i type.

Getting a set of full coilovers or even just name brand coilovers is the way to go. don't settle for that stuff because of the cheap price. quality>quanitity

Yes. forgot to mention that. my bad. since you said you are on a budget, a spring + shock combo may be the likely route. If you know some days you'd like to raise your car or lower your car, then coilover sleeves + shocks would be great also aka Koni Yellows + GC's. There are a lot of combinations.

Suspension is shot how? Hubs usually don't go bad, bearings do. Rotors have nothing to do with the suspension either, if you're replacing them, I'd put a new set of pads on with them personally.

the suspension makes a screeching noise when i hit slopes or when im taking turns at slow speeds. its very stiff. i know rotors and hubs have nothing to do with the suspension.the car is do for new bearings the wheels squeak when rolling. the hubs are so rusted that i cant get the wheels off without breaking them. one of the lugs is completely broken off. so one wheel is rolling with only 3 lugs on it. and the rotors are pitted.

Cool, just making sure you're after the right parts. Was the car sitting for awhile? Just curious.
