So since they're so close in tire size they'll be fine I'm guessing right? The 14" steelie wheels wouldn't come in contact with the rotors or pads would they?

Yeah. They'll be fine.
If they're factory steelies, you'll more than likely be fine. Some Integras came with 14" wheels stock. Mine currently has 14's on it with 195/60R14's and I don't have any issues.

Thanks for the replies back in October but I still haven't bought any winter tires. Actually bought some 96 SE/GSR Snowflakes that were painted gold and paint stripped them. Now just gotta either take em to get them sandblasted at 1.60 a minute, wait for my pops to decide to put together his sandblaster, or spray paint em close as possible to vogue silver metallic. I'm at stock height and was thinking of putting 195 60 15 blizzaks on my beat up meshies for the winter. Does anyone have experience with this? At stock height I would think the extra 10 cm comes close to the walls but I'm now sure. Can't find any blizzaks in 195 55 15 anywhere either otherwise I would go with the original size. I get the speedo would be slightly out of wack.

Awesome thanks for the reply. Winter tires finally ordered. Blizzaks WS70 195 60 15 88T's. Finally tied up the score with Wisconsin winters. Me 1 Wisc. winters 1 due to it being cold af still. I guess add the salt in there too so I'm really still down but hey it's progress

195/60R15's were oem size for a few 'Teggy's, and I had some on my old Integra sedan with zero issues whatsoever. You should be fine.

Wow-haven't written anything on my thread in a while. But to be fair that's because I've been broke. But things are starting to turn a corner and I'm finally thinking I should start looking into my suspension. I know for sure I will be going the Koni Yellow/Ground Control route. Over time I've searched for opinions in search engines and it's always Koni/GC ftw. The quality seems to be top notch from everyone that's had experience with them and the adjustability is what I'm looking for. Though I'm only using my car as a DD I figure this set up is in my best interests. I'm not looking for the slammed look I'm just looking to get a nice 1 finger gap to flush look.
ClubIntegra has Koni Yellows on sale for 443.67 so I'll most likely go ahead with them from here. The Ground Control I can't seem to find cheaper prices of the latest series 1020.02(329.99) or the 1020.01(289.99) anywhere but eBay. If anyone knows a place where they're cheaper that they've seen of lately it'd be great to hear from ya. I'm not too familiar with any other recommendations other than Koni Yellow/GC so if you have another suggestion for the same effectI'm looking for and quality while saving some $ throw it out there it'd be much appreciated.

You can call ground control and talk to them directly.
You can also try buying the combo pack from redshift.

Parts List
Great news! I get to buy new parts! Bad news..it's just maintenance..but I'm still pretty pumped since I haven't bought anything for my teggy in a whiiiile. Alright so before I get to play the aesthetics game with my teggy I'm putting some much needed maintenance in before I go ahead and buy my Koni/GC. My teggy has yet to have a timing belt replacement (@98,6xx miles) and I need a catalytic converter. So I did some researching today and made myself an Excel document listing all of the parts needed along with optional/needed parts that can be replaced during the process. Here it is:
So you might be wondering the timing belt tensioner is highlighted in bright green. Basically I'm just curious as to how the OEMAcuraParts website and eBay are so off when every other part is relatively close in price. I'm willing to bet that the eBay tensioner isn't truly OEM and the distributor is lying, even though the eBay ad states the part is made by the OEM manufacturer (Koyo Seiko) :what:. But I'm not sure so that's why I want to ask you guys what you think. Here's a couple pics of the eBay ad:
Just strange tbh, but if it seems legit than I'm sure as hell gonna save myself 50 dollars and just get it from eBay and not OEMAcuraParts.
I guess if you have anything to add about it let me know, I just wanted to throw this out there if anyone had any advice. I'm not ordering these parts for another couple weeks till I get my next paycheck in.
