So my very first after market item would be suspensions. And i was thinking what i should get?

As for coilovers, i was thinking of the GC/Koni yellow combination

but idk what else to get? I know you need sway bars, strut bars, and bushings but is that it? Help would be greatly appreciated!

GC wit the koni yellows are a really good set up

and id upgrade the drums to rear disc
and get front and rear camber kits there not really need but if u want to have ur tires last awhile then there a good idea

rear lca's and all that other stuff u mention should be about it :thumb:

its all good man, we all start off not knowing alot so dont be afriad to ask :thumb:

the rear brakes are drums, up grading to rear disc helps with braking
the reason i say that is since u mess with the suspension might as well upgrade

and lca's = lower control arms

The rear disk brake conversion is actually Highly recommended
You should defiantly do this if your upgrading your suspension
Look into subframe braces and struts too

Your suspension should always be faster then your car :thumb:

thanks man im glad to help :D

what do you mean by rears??

the rear of almost any integra will fit
i have a 91 integra ls rear suspenson and disc brakes

but u can get the rear disc off 99-00 civic si
the eg's that come with them 94-01 integras but i have 91 so im gonna say the 89-93 teg rear disc will work as well

as for sway bar for the rear go wit a stock GSR or a Type R but type r involves getting a subframe brace

and for the lca's id go wit skunk2 or funtion form
stay away from blox lca's unless you plan redoing all the bushings
the blox lca's bushings sux ass

but its all what you perfer my set up is
91 teg rear suspension with rear disc
91 teg rear sway bar wit stock eg mounts
tokio blues shocks with no name coil sleeves

function and form and blox lcas are pretty much the same thing. as are most others out there. the only different ones, which are better would be function7 and skunk2. thought i wouldnt get anything other than function7.
