I recently bought a 92 Si hatch with a B16. It came with:
-Tokico blue struts
-Skunk2 springs
-Ebay header and exhaust
-Blox control arms (the guy gave me his stock control arms too)
I need to replace my struts, I'm not sure if my springs are bad but I don't think they are.
I'm not sure if its just the struts that are causing my issues or also the skunk 2 springs too.
My header gets scratched and dented any time I drive over a bumpy road or pothole because my car is too low or because the Ebay header's clearance is too low.
I have two options to prevent my header scraping issue.
Option 1: Install only skunk 2 struts with my skunk 2 springs. Would that prevent my headers from getting scratched? (I am going to install a stock header too) I was going to buy a header guard also.
Is the skunk2 springs and struts setup not for a daily driver?
Option 2: Buy Koni oranges (or any strut you recommend for a Daily driver) with some new springs that aren't too low.
I think this option has a better chance from my header being scraped, but is also more expensive.
I need to research the best springs for around $300-400 with a Middle range drop suitable for a daily driver. ( Recommendations would be appreciated)
I was also going to install stock Lower control arms since people said the blox control arms are garbage.
I was thinking about buying a aftermarket header, but I heard that the Stock headers are better than the $300-400 priced aftermarket headers.
