Im thinking about getting a 98+ integra, but cant decide between 2 and 4 door. I want a 4 door so people can easily get in, but i also want a 2 door because i think it looks better. Can you put a Type R spoiler on the 4 door? What are some of the interior differences between the two? Any insights would be helpful!

the 2-door looks good and the 4-door just doesnt look normal.
i think thats the only difference.

heh...ok, i'll help this time..
the rear seats in the 4-door have a little more leg room...stress "little". it isnt much. but besides that the interior is the same, they came with the same fabrics, colors, dash, console. the basic difference in the car is the rear. the tail lights are slightly different..they look similar from far away but you can tell the cut through the middle pretty easily..it doesnt look as clean. the car has a trunk instead of the hatch, limiting trunk space. i would say the trunk is a little bigger than half the hatch. as for the type r wing...i dont think so. unless you can find one made for the four door...which there might be, i never had a reason to look. but the trunk door is not as wide as the hatch..so the wing will not fit.
the engines were all the same..except the vtec..i dont know of a model 4-door that came with a vtec, i believe the only four was a GS.
i have never driven a four door so i can't tell you if it drives any different..i think they only came in automatic.
but really...who cares about the people in the back?? as long as you are comfortable..and you will be in a 2door...
i hope that helps...

Okay... when I was first shopping for my new car in 2000, I REALLY wanted a sedan - that's why I looked at the Integra. The Integra GS-R Sedan <B>DOES</B> exist, but are EXTREMELY rare. I'd bet it'd be a lot easier to get your hands on a true Type-R than it is to get a GS-R sedan. The last one in the Southeast US (during december 2000) was sold one hour before I signed papers to get it shipped to me. At that point I was far too much in love with the Integra (and the B18C1) to buy anything else, so I got the coupe. Now, I'm happier overall that I have the coupe, because some of the aftermarket parts (exhaust-wise) don't fit the sedans, and the body flex is a little worse.
Some things of notice:
There was an additional 3.5 inches of legroom in the back of the sedan. That's a HUGE difference.
There was an additional 2 inches of headroom in the back. 6-foot people could actually sit back there!
The rear speakers were 5x7's instead of 6.5 round.
There was an additional 100-130 lbs of weight. I forget the exact number.
Body roll was definitely higher, resulting in a lower skidpad rating (.82 g's, I think)
Bumper covers were different than the coupe and could not be interchanged. Aftermarket ground effects for the coupe did not fit the sedan.
Track width was the same between wheels, but the wheelbase was 1-3 inches longer. I forget the exact number.
There are two people with GS-R sedans in my area... Compare that to the 5 or 6 REAL Type-R's around here... They're definitely rare.
I still drool at the sight of the GS-R sedan... Honda's ultimate sleeper!

dont estimate 4 doors. You can get the GSR feeling with bigger back seats. And like marasums said, they are the ultimate sleeper. here is a pic of my buddy's 4 door, he runs mid 13s on street tires and 91 octane.

I dont doubt the power of the 4 door since it uses the same engines as the 2 door but on look wise the 2 door looks way better or cleaner 4 door teg's dont look right for some reason yes its rear to find 4 door gsr i agree but the look of the 2 door.
