Lowering 1990 Integra

[*Integra_girl*]

Getting my 90 Teg's lowered, what is the best to go for? What do you have? What do you recommend? What don't you recommend?

Thanks :wave:

i got springs from my mate, we did a DIY job and took....maybe an hour and a bit, it dropped it well over 2 inches, looks wikid, ive had no problems (cept getting over curbs) and yeh.

it really depends on how much u want to spend, if u just want it lower u should just get springs, but if your more concerned about comfort and stuff while its low i suggest u get new shocks, swaybars, CV joints and etc. but then again, that isnt cheap.

if you want i can show u be4 and after pics of my car with the ride height.

good luck :P

i recomend d2 coilovers..
because they are cheap, and they are 36 way adjustable. and they are a cool purple.

[SKREMN]

in this pic my car is lowerd 3 1/2" front and back
its adjustable but dont remeber exactuly what the hight was set on
this is a very old picture since then i have gotten 16's not 17's as seen in the pic
dont have any new pic but my car is 6cm's from the ground now

ACTIONMAN got any more info on the D2 coilovers? im looking for some coilovers for my LS

[TRU32U]

PRICE would be great
wats the budget lower price and whats the upper class expensive springs price SPRINGS ONLY!
and how much for coil ovas???

[armak81]

a budget would help in making a decision
lower range springs = $250
upper range springs = $400-$500
coilovers = $1400-$3000
install = $100
rough indication

you can find info on them at http://www.d2racingsports.com.au/d2suspension.html

i got mine thru PLYBOY here on ozhonda at $1300 a set.

They are shipped from NZ so you have to take into account customs duty. They were sent as 'valued $1000' so you only have to pay GST 10%.
So about 1400 all up for a set thats 36 way adjustable. They bolt straight up to your front forks so you dont have to swap them out like others. Installation can be done by yourself, or about $100 from a shop. Otherwise i'll do it for you at $99 :)

Damn!!!!!!!! That Looks Hot!!

its a bit lower aswell

I just couldn't go on with out replying to this on :D

I have the Jackson Racing track set up on my teg it consists of Jackson racing coil springs with Tokiko Illumina shocks that have 5 damping adjustments and a Jacksons racing rear sway bar.

over all my car has been lowered 4inches from stock.

if I were you and just going for looks I would replace the springs and shocks, I say shocks coz you will find that you might be bottoming out quite a bit on lower springs and the standard shock may not last long, regardless of height, I've seen it happen to heaps of my mates cars.

heres a pic when mine was lowered on 18"s

are there any other coilovers available for the DA9 apart from D2 and tein SS? cos im considering getting some of those D2 coilovers

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

ofcourse you can use coilovers from a DC, but that would require dc front forks and rear LCA.. I believe i posted a topic a while back with a list of avail coilover kits.

Yep you're right

Ommni power also make Coilovers for our cars, but like ACTIONMAN-1 said most or all DC2 Coilovers will fit if you replace the front forks and rear lca's.

I have actually just gotten a quote from password jdm on a set of Ommni power coils for $1150 AUD landed and an extra $75 can get me a set of Tein Basics........

Im pretty sure you only needed to replace your rear lca's if you wanted to put DC2-R coilovers... When using DC2 coilovers it was only the front forks.
