    Coilovers for GSI

    Hey everybody. Looking to lower my car pretty soon, just wonderring what is a good setup for an Integra Gsi. Car is daily driven and is often on the highway as I have to travel 1/2 an hour each day to uni. Have been looking at the Skunk2 Pro C's on the net and can pick them up for a pretty good price, but I have no experience at this so am looking for some advise. Have found the Pro C's on ebay for just over 1100 USD.

    Thanks everybody.

    You want stiff? Pro C will be stiff.

    Are you just interested in lowering or are you after performance too?

    More interested in lowering with performance in mind for later down the track. So I thought I might aswel do it once and do it right. I have hard it is stiff, but the standard ones on the car are fairly stiff. As long as my ride doesn't become uncomfortable.

    it will become uncomfy lol, as far as im aware, to get good comfort an performance, u should be looking at teins, but they can be quite $$$$

    have you considered also matched springs an dampers? or u still wanting the function of ride height adjustable?

    buddyclub n+ is what I bought, they are easy to adjust height, they can go fkn low as, (if thats what you want) and there's quite a good range of dampening levels. although I can pretty much guarantee (agreeing with mugen_ctr) that pretty much no matter what coilovers you buy they will not be exactly "comfortable" haha. but trust me once you get used to it, it's not bad at all really.

    I'm after the adjustable ride height, just more freedom to have the car the way I want it. How much are the Buddyclub n+ in comparison to the Skunk2 pro c's? I was also considering the pro S but heard they are rubbish.

    A friend of mine had bc racing coils 12k front 8k rear (unsure of specs) 15way damper adjustable and they were dangerously stiff in my opinion. The car actually bounced off the ground when he hit some bumps

    edit: oh that was when it was on the stiffest setting

    It's very hard to get 'stiff for track' with it remaining comfortable. Either lower it softly for daily driving or harden up and make it stiff too.

    I say go stiff. You get used to it and it makes you smile everytime you take a corner quickly. I went for the 'stiffer than stock but comfortable' option and ended up hating being in the middle-zone, not comfortable enough for old people and not stiff enough to go crazy. So I got Bilsteins in the end. Stiff enough.


    Plenty of options out there. All previously mentioned are good. Tein, Skunk2, Buddy Club, BC etc...
