Hi everyone,

Hopefully this is the right spot for my question, lol. So I have a 2000 gsi integra and it's finally time to upgrade my stock suspension!

My plan is to drop back and front on SL springs with new shocks / struts. My question is what kind of shocks do you recommend for back and front? At a quick look all I could find was 'Ultima' shocks but I have no idea if they're any good and what their reputation is.

Appreciate some help and advice!

Neglesh it depends on what you're looking to achieve besides replacing the old shocks.

KYB and Koni produce some amazing shocks that are proven and deserving replacements for the Integra ranging from oem replacements to performance shocks. Have a look and you'll see the rave reviews.

If you're in a rush give senna or lil thug a pm.

No huge rush, my stocks are okay but it's time for more low :p What prices am I roughly looking at for Koni?

yh since you might not keep car long disregard the Koni advice

you can either use the stock struts and have shit ride till they leak or get the cheapest brand new replacements to buy you some time

Depending on how much the Koni's are, ill go from that. I'm still willing to pay a decent price for some decent shocks. Just don't want to go full on with coilovers, really.

ultimas will most likely be the cheapest option here

I would rather use Monroe than Ultima. Ultima is a Monroe copy made in china by the same people who make Tein. It's a really crappy damper and should not ever be put in the same sentence as Koni or KYB. Ultima are an eBay shock ... 100.000km on a Koni would put the best Ultima shock to shame
