struts/shocks and springs
Hi everyone, I'm in the market for some struts/shocks and springs for my GSR. I'm not looking for that much of a drop, 1 and a 1/4 drop would be fine with me, I was thinking nuespeed and perhaps koni non-adjustables for struts/shocks. Any feedback on these or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have H & R Springs, its about a 1.7" drop it looks mean as hell. I also got tokico non-adjustables. It feels like a completly different car. I was so happy with both.

I'd go with the Eibach Pro Kit for a 1.3" drop (that's what I've got on my Integra), and the Tokico and Koni are both great options. I've got Koni's (adjustables), and I've never ridden in a car with Tokicos, but I've yet to hear bad things about them. Apparently they're great as well, but 25 to 30% less expensive.
If you've got more money to drop on suspension, I'd go with some one-piece coilovers that you can get for in the neighborhood of a grand. I know the Skunk2's are pretty popular. |

Hey the best ride would be if you got the Apexi coilovers! Sweet as hell, but then that's also with the ITR rear lca's. Well worth the money.

Re: Re: struts/shocks and springs
Neuspeed, H&R, or Eibach Pro-kit with koni reds would be a good choice for a basic set-up. If you can afford adjustable shocks, get 'em now.
with JD@af, true coilovers would be the best selection if you know how to set-up it up properly & will use the many adjustments. Are you gonna use the adjustments for daily driving? NO, but if you have the $$$$, why not?If your doing any racing, adjustable coilovers may/will put you in a higher class due to the adjustable spring perches. Check out www.tirerack.com for suspension parts for your car. Check into the H&R Cup kit if its available for your car. When it comes to standard shocks/struts springs, there is nothing better than a matched set from the same company. H&R also makes wonderful springs & coilovers. Good old German over-engineering. More quality coilovers & other suspension related parts : http://www.modacar.com/products/Acura/Integra/MODACOI/ If you choose coilover sleeves for some reason, at least go with ground controls(eibach spring) & Koni Yellows. Tein basic is about the cheapest quality coilover I know of. Next step after shocks/springs is a rear sway bar upgrade, if your looking for better handling.
