Raising it back up to stock height.

Hello guys! I've been stalking over this forum for a while and actually decided to register today! Here's my baby;



(Whoever did this tint job did a horrible job on the drivers side)



This would be my first car. I have been saving up for quite some time to buy one. I ended up coming across this integra from a guy from craigslist. There is paint damage in the front, sides and rear view mirrors. Also there are some minor interior damages as well I bought it from him for $4500. Unfortunately he kinda ripped me off. A couple days after I got it the check engine light came on and it turns out the catlytic converter was bad and the 02 sensors were in the wrong spot. I had to get that fixed and I had to buy 2 new tires for the front because there were cracks all in the inside. So all in all I really payed about $5500 :oops: (And thats not including registration!) So yeah I already spent a great deal of money on it. I wanted to however bring it back up to stock height. Its really low to the ground as you can see. It has coilovers on it but
1. They are stripped.
And
2.They are as high as they can go, so my car has a lot more bounce to it.
I'm looking for some shocks/springs I guess to bring it back up to factory height so I don't have to worry about scraping and when I let people in my car they are not all bouncing around ahaha. So if someone could lead me into the right direction on where is the best place to buy this (and whatever else I would need) it would be really helpful!

look into the eibach sport line or pro line springs they have a mild drop and wont sag, as for struts maybe a tockico blue will fit your needs

Take a look in here: http://www.tunersports.com/?&aid=7

I would recommend getting a set of struts and springs with a nice drop. You won't be happy at stock ride height, it looks weird. I have about a 2" drop on mine and the only reason I ever scrape is because the spring rate is too soft

makes sense i guess. being to low damages things under the car and makes a very carefull driver after replacing the oil pan due to a big ass scrape

It just depends on what you want out of your car. Hard parking and being low is a lot less costly, because you only have to modify exterior and suspension; track builds involve mostly stuff people will never see and costs a fucking fortune for even a moderate build to be competitive overall with other decent track cars

I've tried to build my car with a decent balance between aesthetics and performance, but putting a lot more emphases on performance

well i have no worries about track racing cuz there isnt a track under 400 miles away from where i live and the closest drag strip is around 150 miles. I would love to race but its just too far
