hey everyone.. im new to this forum so be gentle lol

[deezsta87]

lol hey guys
my names dee and im new to these things called forums lol and im also new to driving manual.
i recently bought a 97 integra gsi which im pretty stoked about. i wanted a vtir but it was a bit over my budget so i settled for gsi.
when i bought my gsi it came with 17" rims.. new extractors and everything else was pretty much stock as a rock.
i needed a half decent system so i bought alpine type s splits and type s 6" for the back. its running a pretty good pioneer head unit (upgrading to pioneer dvd player) and i a shitty JBL 12" sub and 2 2channel amps.
i wanna lower my car but im unsure of what brand and stuff to go with. i heard king springs are shit so im not even gona bother dealing with them lol. OTR recommended me to get buddy club N+ Spec Dampers for $1,699 because it'll be better for me in the long run because i wanna keep my car for another 5 years at least. what should i do?

get the coilovers buddy, not only will u be able to lower it to ur ideal ride height, but u'll also the all round stiffness of good grip.

Hi and welcome to ozhonda

As V73C said above coilovers would be best!

Buddy clubs are good but i prefer Tiens :p

Hope to see you around :wave:

Not everyone wants to experience vtec

Some invest there faith and trust into a car that has a great build quality :thumbsup:

dont pay out king springs yet, there not as bad as portraid..i know numerous amounts of people who have low or super low kings on there stocks and they look good and drive perfectly fine..superlows will wear out you stock faster but if you got lows they wont be wearing out any time soon...

Yep koni's are a good bang for buck!

Imho id get the money for rego then mod (that way less stress and no chance of having to sell to pay for rego)

[deezsta87]

yehh thats true. thanks SHOGUNOVDDRK. i might take the easy way out though lol. i pretty much just want to lower the car. im not planning on taking my car to track or anything but i also want a comfortable ride on these shitty melbourne roads. should i just settle for springs ey?

[thescotty]

well springs are cheap and if u dont get them to f**& low then there fine, or just get your stock ones re compressed and youll be fine, dont waste your money on things you dont necessarly need as alll you wont is to lower the car..springs would be the way...i just bought a set my self "kings" there perfectly fine for what i want and drive normal just a tad stiffer then usual but meh?

[deezsta87]

thanks thescotty. yeh i guess ur right. do u know if peddars is a good brand?

[thescotty]

yeh i was gonna get some 2.5 inch pedders but they sold so i went the second option the kings there both the same there just springs i guess..man i should have a PQ so far:(
