this is my current situation. i drive a dc2 (94 integra vtir)

i am riding on dead stock shocks, with kmac lowered springs.

what i want to keep, in whatever option i chooose, is my current ride height.

my driving style? probably mostly daily driver, with perhaps occasional spirited sprinting, but hardly.

so after reading up, i have a few options.

option 1: originally i wanted to buy koni yellow sports, and keep my current springs. but ive realised, that my springs are not held captive (becasue the spring is too short compared to the stroke of the koni), which may affect, negatively, the life of my konis, just as it has the life of the stock shocks. so buying expensive aftermarket shocks, and ruining them by using bad springs is a waste of money.

option 2: keeping the kmacs (which i'll assume are relatively soft in spring rate), putting them on some spare stock shocks - that have never riden on lowered springs, and buying a thicker rear sway bar. after reading an article on the whilteline site, this seems a good cheaper option. soft spring rate which will take in bumps, shocks that will work and absorb the bumps everywhere (even if just for a few months - until i choose another option), and thicker sway bar, which will reduce body roll.

option 3: buying the koni yellows, and also buying aftermarket progressive springs that will match my current ride height.

with option 3 comes a few questions. who can make custom height springs for me? whiteline? i *think* the drop i want is about 65mm. when koni yellows are bought new, where are the height adjustable perches set at (from factory)? on the front 1152, there are 3 different perches, and on the rear 1153, there are two perches from memory. where are those perches set from factory.

perhaps option 4 is choosing eibach sportlines (which drop about 45mm) and the konis. dropping the one perch on both front and rear shock, and hopefully have them equal in height.

can anyone help? thanks for your time.

regards

fried.
