Ground Controls

The adjustable coil overs are not just useful on the street or just for the weather. They are great when you have a 100-200lb stereo system sitting in the back of your trunk. It lowered my car an extra 3/4". The ground controls allow me to correct the sagging rear end. I've noticed most springs for the integras and civics make the rear end look a little lower than the front. Adj. Coil-overs will allow you to get the perfect look. Not only that the Ground Control setup for the Integra feels just like stock, but makes handling much better.

Remember to get an alignment after any adjustment of height to the car. Also, don't forget to cut your bump stops when lowering your car. Most people make this mistake and end up riding on the bumpstops, rather then the springs. You can tell when someone is riding on their bumpstops. They are the ones bouncing all over the place.

Well, I said Id come back with an update, and here it is. I got the APEXi WS dampers as planned (its funny how I go through two million options, only to go with my first one.), and so far I am pretty pleased with them. Adjusting is not as difficult as I expected, except for the front ones. I also like the ride, it isnt too rough at all and it handles like a champ now. Thanks for the input everyone, and Dezoris, good call on the gloves, Ive already adjusted the rears once and my hands definitely paid the price. (kept banging my hand on metal! )

Those AGX's are great struts. They just came out with them for the Maxima. I put them in about 2 months ago. WOW, what a ride, and so easy to adjust. The Maxima rides the best with H&R's in them, I'm not that familiar with lowering springs for Hondas, but definately would reccoment the KYB AGX struts.

Also, I like the idea of adjustability, even if I rarely use it, its nice to have. Finally, I think the ride would have to be good, because the springs/shocks are made to work with one another in a full coilover set like the Apexi WS. So, that being said, maybe Ill stop in with an update once I get the coilovers on! Thanks for all the input!
Hey Im goingto buy the Apexi WS suspension some time this week....I got a couple questions for ya ...

How much can u get the suspension for ? u said u can get a deal on them, the cheapest ive found them is $955 shipped if u can get me a site or phone # where I can get them cheaper that would be great..!

How long does it take to adj. it ? and do u have to take off the wheels to adj it ?

Is there any reason why I shouldnt get them ?

Thanks for your time
