Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

[adriano10]

Hey guys, was going to post a thread in the Suspension section but figured I'd try here first.

I initially had my mind set on getting Skunk2 springs (2" drop all round) off of eBay ($300 delivered) and running them on stock shocks.

I've read in numerous threads that lowered springs on stock shocks will kill the shocks fairly quickly?

What about these? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SKUNK2-Sp...ht_2673wt_1163

They're a bit above what I wanted to spend, but do it once, do it right I guess haha.

depends how old the shocks are and if there oem if your wanting a good setup u can get some sleeves on some good shocks or just get a set of coilovers

OEM shocks, I'm assuming they haven't been replaced.

Searched around a bit more, now thinking Ground Control kit with Tokico Illumina's/Koni Yellows.

Quite expensive but from what I've read, it's the best setup for street cars.

Anyone had any experience with these?

I'm running koni's. have been very hapy so far.. good balance between dealing with crap roads and firm controlled ride..

[FR33K]

I went with the ground control/Koni yellow combo back in the day and I was pretty impressed. You can also customize your spring rate when you order, however I went off the shelf (can't remember the specs). Wasnt rough but wasnt smooth either... Obviously depends on height, wheel size etc.

Some pics below.... Strongly suggest you don't go with standard shocks you will regret it.

[93Integra]

Any problems with scraping at that height FR33K? That's essentially the height I'm after.

Spring rate I'm undecided, I had a 31 with Tien coilovers, 10kg F and 8kg R, way too solid for a daily.

I think stock rates are 8 and 6? From ebay for everything it will be just under a grand so I want to make sure its the right choice lol.

The front probably scrubbed a little when turning only because I didn't remove the plastic lining under the guard.

Oh yeh I did also have a full camber kit

nice. b18a1?

[93Integra]

What camber kit did you have?

I know that lowering it a certain amount will cause the car to have negative camber, did you just have the kit to correct it? (Noob2Camber)

[menacer]

Im running Skunk2 camber kits front and rear. my teg is probably a few mm higher than Fr33k's. there still plenty of adjustment on the rear but the fronts are almost maxed

Wow long time no hear A-Man! 200 is pretty good for such low PSI, have you done anything since the original setup?
