Coilovers and Air Intake. Need Advices Please!!

Hey guys

Finally , I made up my mind to lower my CL9 and to do some intake swap.

Got 1 member sourcing for me King Spring+Monroe price and also I was thinking to get coilovers. Was looking at D2 from MIngzai or Tein Monoflex from Bakayaro. Or GAB SS series since one of my friend has it on his evo and he told me it was great and worth half price of Buddyclub. Also BC Racing series as well.

Seriously, I haven't had coilovers before on my previous ride, so I don't know which one to grab.

And as well I am tempting to go for Injen SP Cold Air Intake since the "sounds" and torque gain impressed me. But I didn't know where can I get them. Ebay is not an option since I lost my account long time ago. Can anyone point me to a site to buy? I have checked heeltotoe and autoanything.

THX!!

Injen: Amazon had them on special a week ago, like $280 shipped or something.
Coilovers: talked to death already in another thread http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...mp-F-coilovers

King spring + Monroe just sounds ghetto IMO.

Thx for your input. I reckon I will change my springs setup. Btw how did you compare INJEN to KN filter?

Give the D2s a miss...

But then again why you need coilovers for? Dumping the car on its skirts?

Injen > K&N

King springs + Monroe shocks = Waste of money. My old car came with this set up when I bought it (DC2). It was my second Integra (first one running stock suspension) and I couldn't believe how much of a boat the set up made the car feel. Didn't know you could spend so much money to make the car handle so much worse than stock....... It even bottomed out if I hit a nice enough bump. Car came with receipts showing that the set up had only been used for a year as well.

Sorry to the person making the sale... But I would really recommend spending a bit more or going second hand.

LOL, just like the whole Injen vs K&N thing, end of the day, its a pipe and pod....dont think people will notice the power gain anyway. Its all about the sound =]
