Ok ... I started this same thread on another site in order to help others decide on which company to go with as sometimes it can get a lil crazy.

Post up your suspension parts and the good/bad things you may have to say about them.

I'll start off:

Skunk2 front camber kit (original design)- Decent design, any hard driving will cause the set plate to snap. (I broke mine within 1 1/2 months)

Skunk2 Pro Series front camber kit- Very much improved design. Set plate is reinforced and much more sturdy. (Running these for around 9 months now with very hard driving on them)

Eibach Pro Kit springs- Excellent lowering spring. Greatly improved handling in all aspects.

eBay brand fender braces- Keeps the front end of car compliant under acceleration. Assists in drag and road racing. Improved cornering during normal driving (car was more responsive).

Honda GSR front strut bar- Greatly improved all handling during normal driving. High speed cornering was much more stable than with the strut bar.

Don't laugh,but right now my only suspension mod is..

Ractive strut bar(free,I got two same exact models,part # unknown,one fit my DC4,the other found its way on a Ej1 civic): Seemed to improve steering "feeL" and stability during high speed cornering,plus it looks damn nice! Fitment is great,overall I like it.

My friends that are 'carguys' that drive non-integras usually tell me things like "holy shit this thing handles awsome what did you do to it?" and etc

It's ok ... so long as they perform the way they are supposed to. Brand doesn't really matter IMO ... some designs are better though. Such as the Password:JDM bars. Man ... I want those bars sooo bad.

tein SS's - bought used for $500 in awesome shape. put em on. got the drop i wanted with the adjustability i wanted. springs arent stiff enough however.

94-01 DC integra skunk2 pro series a arms... FIT on DA's and WORK awesome...

spc rear camber kit - bolts on nicely, looks to be sturdy but is kind cheap lookin at the same time.

z.speed front upper strut bar... looks cool? not sure how it works though.

just installed tower bars and of course they do rock. but before i did i installed an E-bay 4 point (H) front lower brace. it was given to me by a friend as he said it wouldn't fit on his 98 GSR because of an aftermarket CAT. so i sat on it a few months and finally test fit it. it bolts right up to my surprise, but i had to remove the lower heat shield on my stock CAT. i am guessing that this is the same as the CUSCO brace. it seems like it is good quality, and definately seems to have made a diferance. before i put the tower braces on. i plan to remove the tower braces as well as the H brace until i install a full set of urethane bushings throughout the car. so i'll fill you all in a.s.a.p.

JDM Tein HA coilovers for ITR- I simply cannot say enough god things about these bad boys. 36 way adjustability ... 2 dual springs ...

^Highly recommend^


Function7 rear LCA for ITR- Weight savings are aprrox 2 or 3 lbs each side (ITR LCA's are already light from factory). Compared to the regular Integra LCA's they are approx 4 or 5 lbs each side.

^Highly recommend^

Megan Racing Lowering Springs
Honda Civic / Del Sol 92-00
Model Number : MR-LS-HC9200

-I bought these off of a guy locally here in town for $100 (he decided to go with Tein S-Techs)
so far so good, the drop seems alot lower than the advertised 1.75''. I was skeptical to their quality but they have stood up to the brutal pothole riddled roads of Newfoundland, even with spirited driving and a few good times of bottoming out. The car handles great, very flat around corners.

This is without any previous mods, i have a 97 Honda Civic EX Sedan (EX in canada, has USDM spec EX suspension and brakes, but the Y7 engine) hopefully with the Teg sway bars it should handle quite well.

koni yellows/groundcontrol coilovers.

i absolutly love this setup. the adjustable shocks are great, i could feel a difference in just a 180' turn of the knob. and the coilovers are adjustable with an allen wrench so you dont have to worry about where your spanner wrenches are. and you can go on gc website and order asny spring raate
