what springs struts shocks are the best

Ok as most of you know i am almost finished building my rhd integra, and i need to lower it a little. I normally hate lowering springs because of the way they ride. Is there anything out there that lowers your car and will ride like stock or better. Just let me know what brands or what kind you think is best

sadly this is going to be a lot of opinion...

I have Eibach pros on my cobalt and it rides fairly close to stock (just corners flatter and is a bit firmer). I had the same on my camaro and loved them. Typically the pro kit doesnt lower as much as the sportlines. Also typically sportlines are a bit softer than the pro kits.

As far as other springs I honestly dont have any experiance outside of Eibach.

Thats a tough one man..it all depends on your budget,and how you wanna drive it. But remember no matter what you go with its gonna be a little stiffer of a ride. Its just the nature of the beast. You wouldnt want an extremly soft spring on a lowerd car anyway,i imagine you would bottem out a lot.

I would say just go with a good lowering spring and a good shock. That would give you a solid feeling ride with out being bouncy.If you enjoy a little spirited driving every now and then you can also get adj struts to furter fine tune the ride to your driving style.

Some people are happy with 20 doller coilovers and some people spend thousands on race suspensions...all depends on how far you wanna go.

Just a slight drop lowering spring,with a good adjustable shock and all new bushings would be kinda a middle of the road yet good place to start.

Just take your time,and do some research. there are a million different combinations out there from mild to wild. I wish i could be of more help but untill we know what your looking to spend its gonna be tough to say what would be the best bang for your buck...Good luck bro! Cant wait to see the car in person man!

I am very happy with my Ground Controls, with stock struts so far. So far they haven't blown out, ride quality is good to me, I am sitting pretty low.
