Hey guys.
I was out tonight having a bit of a play in my stock 1994 DC2 Integra VTi-R. One thing I noticed was a scary amount of body roll around some tight corners, and some loss of traction when pushing out of longer corners.
So now I'm wondering if I should void my stupid warranty on the suspension and upgrade to something that will hold the road better, and how much this is gonna cost me / if it's worth it?
I understand whiteline are a good company (as many toymods guys have told me), and have looked at their stuff. They seem to have 3 options. The Handling pack, the sports pack, and the full kit. Sports pack seems to just be a set of springs and shocks. I imagine these will be lower than standard and possibly even lower than the Type R dampers and springs? Handling pack replaces a lot more parts, but I'm wondering if, without new shocks, am I gonna see much of a difference. Obviously the works is desireable, but outside what I could afford to pay. Note, I'm still paying this car off, and will be for a few years.
So I'm wondering, are shocks and springs all that's needed? Or should I be considering sway bars, and lower controll arm braces? Will lowering the car put any un-due pressure on other suspension components that aren't upgraded? Or am I better off just getting type R suspension components?
The VTi-R already has a strut brace in place, so unless it's totaly crap, I don't think I have to worry about that.
Last question (and sorry for the essay), I've heard people mention anti-lift kits, but never had anyone explain to me exactly what they are. I've been told they reduce body roll.
Note that I want to keep my car as a day driver. Also I'm open to suggestions on brand, but I don't want something that's gonna die on me. If I do end up lowering, I'll be voiding my suspension warranty so I want something I can trust.
EDIT:
P.S. I also think my DC2 looks to high.So cosmeticaly speaking, lowering sounds good.
