just dropped and already probs :(

yesterday was a bad day. i just put some H&R sport springs on my car and the second i start to drive shit goes down! what went down was that my front left shock is fucked... i have to get new ones. i was thinking the bilstien their a good cheap shock (compared to others) but money is a serous issue. and i want this fixed asap. to save up 600 $ for shocks is going to take me a while with my payments and all. do you think buying one more stock shock would be a waist of money? because the rest a probly going to blow further down the road :( i know the aftermarket are going to be nessesary but my pals are saying (and so are the guys at the shop) that the shock could have just been a weak one from (maybe from hitting a pot hole or somthing) all i know i that i want it fixed fast because that front left shock feels like its taring apart my car with all of the the loud thump, cracks, and squeeks. .........doesnt this blow rick

That sucks, I don't recommend replacing just one strut, you should do them in at least pairs(front or rear prefer all 4). Look into some Tokico HP's they are a decent strut for the money.

where do you get bilsteins for cheap? last i checked bilsteins were the most expensive coilovers for bmw's, so why would it be so cheap for integras? (i know you're looking for shocks but still). i agree with jackasssi, either get hp's or kyb agx, and replace all of them at the same time. it'll save you money in the long run.

yea i decided on the KYB's, i'll just have to go easy on my half ass stock shocks right now.. and for the cheap bilstein i went to nopi and noticed this http://www.nopionline.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=dsppartdetail&vmakeid=010&vmodelid=010&vcatyear=2000&vnopinum=453%2B2175&vTitle=2000%20ACURA%20Integra%20Suspension%20Shock/Strut&vaffid=0 coreect me if im wrong but i beleive thats a bilstien strut...but its just rear it doesnt have front there.

Those are definatly Bilstein's. Don't bother with GR2's if thats what your looking at, AGX will be ten times better. Tokico HP would be better than GR2.

yea im going to get the AGX i can get them from tirrack for a decent price. my girlfriend says hi.

Don't forget upper strut mount bushings, good time to replace those while it's all apart. Tire Rack has KYB's

What time is she coming over tonight?

yea, you think that will help me out on the durability of my shocks and springs?

Not really, just a good idea to replace. Kinda like replacing a timing belt, it's just stupid not to replace the water pump.

understood, thanks for the help dude

Indeed it does. I tried calling last night but I figure you were chillin with robobbie and ry for his last night before he moved. Definitely a good idea to go with the AGX's and I dont for see any horrible problems if you only get them on the front. But if you can get the money together do all four corners. Dont forget about the dudes down your street the are a great resource. They may be able to give you some serious help! THey know what they are doing. And you and I both know how good all of their drops look!

P.S. give you Ma and Pops a hello and I would love to know what your old man has to say about this! (I bet it is something similar to hell raising)

Now this guy has a sense of humor! ("what time is she coming over") Oh the hilarity! This kid is on a budget so he can't just go out and buy a polyurethane set of bushings. He will be ok with out doing this right away.

Are those bottles in the back of your Vette? what size shot?

DUAL STAGE?

That sucks bro I am sorry to hear that shit has hit the fan. Did Matt give you a good deal? Did Goz sell his car (you are talking about it like it is in the past)? So your tires are going too? damn son you have been cursed. Did you take to get aligned before you started getting aggressive with it? I know in all the excitement it might have been possible that you might have forgotten to get it aligned or got a little ahead of yourself and hit up some sweet S-curves before going to get it done? by the way remind me to tell you about a cool place to go run your car back home!

I was looking at that vette in your picks! it is a piece of work! if you had a hand in that let me be the first in saying well done! Have you ever seen it run or maybe spray? That must be unbelieveable (way off topic but no body seems to mind)

I'm sorry about your car white GSR.... i think you should go with kyb's. I saw them in a car magazine and they were only $69 each! :-D maybe you'll get some for valentines day from your hot gf!

Dear White GSR,

You are the luckiest man I know (excluding stubaru). You get shocks when every other dude in this forum begs their dog to be their Valentine! Keep on truck'n big guy and maybe one day you will get a turbo (hint hint.. nudge nudge ... wink wink) <directed towards red RSeXy> !Jumpin Jehosephat and Schpahdoingkle!

P.S. Quoting Fishman? What? you going to roll one up right here Cheech? You remembering the tour days with the Dead, Rabbit? PHISH for President! I love you Trey, Page, Jon, and Mike! (and Marley)

HTRtech,
I'm really not buying white gsr shocks for V-day....I already got him the turbo... good job now you ruined my suprise!!! >:-( Ihis daddy is lending him $$$$$ for the shocks. But yeah anyways.... I Love Phish.. but Trey, jon, mike, or page could NEVER run the country... I mean probably better than george W. Bush could.... but NO!

P.S From Oliver: phish blows guys

Btw... for all you boys out there that want to know what kind of turbo i got him.. i got him a greddy turbo :-D

Btw... for all you boys out there that want to know what kind of turbo i got him.. i got him a greddy turbo :-D

To bad you didn't get him the kit he wanted. DRAG turbo kit would have been the one to buy! And you are wrong about Phish Oliver and you are wrong about Phish Lauren!

here ya go this be oliver...it wont let me sign in on my name... but i didnt fuck up my my car by driving it without getting it alligned they did that at the shop. i have yet to drive my car aggresive cause the feel of the blown shocks are painfully bad. :( but yea man i have it no better then any man on this forum, because im getting these shocks its adding 50$ each month to my 320$ payments.. but no worrys right, tomorow im a big working man at hobby lobby! hehe.. gotta go OC is on.

actually i asked for greddy i will get the front mount kit later. :)

Not sure who that was directed towards, butttttt, all this anger of yours must come from the fact that you drive a front wheel drive car.

All of you guys should listen to this guy! It would be a lot easier if you guys used our Forum to say these things. There would be a lot less confusion. Or maybe even download AIM for God sakes. Did it take some dude on a Acura Forum to tell you guys that? Please read what this guy has to say instead of acting like you have claimed a territory. Please!

P.S. (To: WHITE GSR) why did you obsess over the drag kit then? or is this some tricky bull shit you guys keep pulling? (which, by the way, is not funny) And Ryan have you bought a mod yet? Get a chip!

first. calm down rick it was a joke, your no fun.........and whatever dude, try to stop me from saying what the hell i want. go away gnushit im sorry you got so insulted from the frontwheel drive comment. and hahaha (white_gsr_is a_whore.com) you could think of somthing better then that dude. :)

Please, do not flatter yourself at our expense. Maybe you shouldn't take it so personal; especially since you have absolutlely no idea of whom you are talking to. Kudos to you for having superior maturity but it is suicide if you told us to grow up..... You with your age and years of wisdom would msot likely die if we were to grow up. Buzz Off.

Does anyone else think this white gsr kid is a queer?

gnushit> go find a girlfriend or do you car... becuase you need to chill out.

v tech cracks me up every time

So what do those other ("just like vtec") valve timing controls redline at? I would like to bet it is not 8200 rpms (maybe toyota). Most others do not even rev to 7000 RPM safely. If you have any other brands that do this post them (the car needs to be in the same price range as a Honda or Acura Integra GSR, or RSX type S).
