***Official What did you do to your Integra today***

**Indie** · 08-09-2011 10:00 PM

Charlie, I think the fitment is spot on. I don't think it needs to be any lower at all, the wheels are sitting perfectly.

**CivicEGSI** · 08-09-2011 11:16 PM

^ Amen. I think it looks sick as is... Get coilovers anyway for better performance?

**Super-DA9** · 08-09-2011 11:19 PM

low or not, coilovers = best mod you can buy IMO.

makes an amazing difference to the way the car feels and behaves.

**charliebrown** · 08-09-2011 11:27 PM

Hmm... i'm undecided about selling up and getting something else at the end of this year (cl9 or dc2/r). Maybe i'll get coilovers if the shocks blow. Haven't driven or been in a car with coils so i don't really know how it feels tbh. Some say it's too stiff for daily

**89lude** · 09-09-2011 12:13 AM

imo coilovers + tyres is the best mod to any car. safety first!

Remove lip and go lower maybe? Looks good though.

Wasn't done today, but I recently had a major service done on my car, tis running exactly how it should apart from a few problems that were found on the way. Problems were:

- r00ted passenger drive shaft
- custom rice muffler knocking and generally being/looking/sounding gay
- busted front and rear engine mounts
- brake pads on their way out
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Time to fix up all the problems

To fix the muffler problem I sourced a 2nd hand HKS HiSilent catback exhaust. Had it installed by Muffler Bro's in Footscary and TA DA, no more gay raspy exhaust!! Bigger piping means my engine breathes that iddy bitty bit better

Also ordered a replacement passenger drive shaft along with:
- New Hardrace engine mount kit (all four mounts)
- Hawks HPS brake pads front and rear
And while I was at it I ordered a new Injen CAI and a hydroshield for that lil iddy biddy piece of mind.

Will be calling OTR tomorrow to book the car in to get some BC BR Coilovers installed as well. Cars currently on lowered springs with stock shocks, feels pretty homo and I want a lil bit more droppage over all.

Oh and this for the lols: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/220578417...84.m1439.l2649
Yes, I will be putting it on

Wow full on. Looks like your mechanics got an "iddy biddy" bit of work to do lol :P

**Vvvtec** · 09-09-2011 10:22 AM

Looks great Charlie! I just put in coilovers man, and I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to stock. One of if not the best mods to do!

I'll try get sone pics up, but I went 2" drop at the front and 1.5" at the rear. Back needs to go down a little more and I'll be happy.

**charliebrown** · 09-09-2011 11:03 AM

Nice man, looking forward to pics. Did you put them in yourself? BC BR if i recall correctly from the other thread. Mind sharing how much you spent on them?

2" front sounds hella nice. If you're still on blades, go sunken battleship star-gazer look and slam the rear tuck half the wheel lol

Would anyone happen to know how much higher the type R lip sits in comparison to the mugen? Am able to get my hands on a genuine one that's already sprayed in my car colour

**Super-DA9** · 09-09-2011 01:11 PM

N+ are definitely great. can be just firm (for daily use) or quite stiff depending on how you adjust them

**act_gooner** · 09-09-2011 01:15 PM

What's too stiff for the street? I think the spring rates of the ones I'm looking at are F - 10K and R - 8k. I'm not too fussed about a bumpy ride but I don't want to be overly uncomfortable since my car does a fair few km's.
