How much drop?

[Beater114]

Hey guys, here is my 92 hatch. I recently put on the si rims, but soon after realized it needed a serious drop. My question is, first of all, what suspension is pretty good but is also fairly inexpensive, and how much of a drop should i get. any suggestions are welcome. Thanks again guys!

I really like my H&R Sport drop... I am tempted to try the Race Springs and see how I like them.

mario, are u using stock struts and shocks or r they upgraded, because im definately going to look into some springs. im just wondering what a good shock/strut combo is. i was lookin at some tokico non adjustables.

Thanks, I am running KYB AGX's on all four corners and I love them. Definitely worth the money, great for a street setup IMO. I can't say how well they are for the track since I haven't gotten a chance yet.

I wouldn't even bother with non-adjustables. I had them on my Prelude since those were the only options... but definitely spend the extra cash when it comes to suspension. $40 Dropzone coilovers and $100 eBay brand struts would not be the way to go. :)

ok, thanks for the advice. if u dont mind, how much did u spend on the kyb's and the h&r springs?

Honestly, the cheapest place you can get them is eBay... find a reputable seller, I think I got mine from "jdmwerks" or something like that. And that will be your best bet.

I have H&R race on my Jetta and I like them. Definitely hard, but a good drop and worth the performance from the spring rates.

i found my tein ss' on egay for $100 shipped (1.9 front/1.7 rear or vice versa..can't remember)...went cheap on struts, tho. Dropzones for $175 shipped...looking back (now that i have the $$), i woulda went with KYB struts, tho.

My friends Integra has the skunk2's and kyb agx's and his rides good. He couldnt lower it hardly at all withour needing a camber kit.
