get the balljoints that go with your stock upper control arms

I was hitting my shock tower and only lowered like 2"

Camber doesn't change the way your UCA travels. The ride height and the soft springs are what causing it to hit.

Sorry, but Maxx suspension products are junk!

i'm barely tucking tires...it's like i'm sitting right on top of my wheels...MUST be the soft suspension setup. it definitely rides nice, but i've been thinking about getting a set of D2 coilovers....wouldnt extended top hats help?

 

[pinkley]

Extended top hats just extend shock travel so they don't bottom out.
Ive been looking into springs.

 

[Sammich]

*sigh* i might call up skunk2, see what other available springs they offer, but i'm going to keep an eye out a nice used set of D2 coils from a DC/EG

 

[PatEK]

i also changed the springs on my d2 set for a more progressive one from d2, but now i'm very happy with this set up

 

[pinkley]

im looking for a some springs that are a little stiffer. the skunk2's have to be about 5+ years old. they were on the car when i bought it. it feels like im hittin switches like a '63 Impala in a dr dre video. :???:

 

[PatEK]

i had good experience with eibach springs before the d2 setup, and they are in america so should be easy for you guys

 

[pinkley]

How do you like he D2's? I've looked into them a bit price wise and they are pretty cheap.

 

[PatEK]

i like them, had a set on my ek4. wich i used on track even. and now i have a set on the integra, but i switched to tougher D2 springs, but it's an easy order with the set. And now i like that set very much, i do use it on trackdays and had no problems yet

 

[pinkley]

As of tomorrow.... (sigh) the Integra may be gone for good. Might be trading for a 96 ext. cab S-10. Tired of not having a truck...

Don't sweat it, If you need the truck then you'll be happier, there's always another one

I had a s10 before. It was a 93 ext can with a v8 swap and it was fun as fuck! Gas mileage sucked but very fun.

I just hate asking my mother in law to borrow her truck every time I need to go to home depo or lowes to get shot for the house. Or even hauling anything.
