Hey I was wondering what are the best lowering springs for a 00 Integra Gsr. What brand? Coil overs or springs? Whats the best drop for a daily driver. Dont want any scraping or bottoming out. Also Neuspeed or H&R sports editions

for 170 i would tell you not to bother right now till you saved up some more money. A decent suspension set up will cost you atleast 600. MY set up used to be Ground control coilovers with kyb gas shocks. Pretty nice if you leave the car no lower than 1.5 in the front 1.75 in the back. Teins will cost a grand plus. I would reccomend the tokico coilover kit but that cost over 600.

Well what about H&R sports or Neuspeed Sports with KYB Agx's? Thats like 500 at most. Also are you sure you got that rite? 1.5 in the front and 1.75 in the back? wouldnt that make the car look kinda wierd? I thought it was the opposite? 1.75 in front and 1.5 in back?

kyb's on skunk2 coil springs will sit you pretty good, and not so stiff like back killer

I'll vouche for the h&r's. i have the race springs and my car is low. But my girlfriend has the sports and it rides like a dream. Clean look also, not much wheel gap.
Make sure you get springs for a teg though. My buddy has h&r sports from a civic on his teg and its low as hell in the front.

well remember that all the weight is in the front so the front end of your car ill always sit lower. so why would you lower the front of the car more than the rear??? The rear of the car always sits higher since theres less weight back there so you would lower the front slightly more than the back of the car.

well thats tru and all but then how come all the spring company sell all their lowering sprrings set for lower in the front then in the back? Like H&R for example their fronts are at 1.75 while their backs are at 1.5

Probably to make the car look more ass end up. Maybe it is the other way around im not sure i havent looked at springs in a while. My theory made sense to me thats why i went with it.

i just picked up a set of skunk2 coils, but im not installing until i get shocks and a camber kit. i just put on new tires and dont want to camber these up too. so stock suspension now until the whole setup is put together.
