So I finally got by first teg! I've loved the way they look (except for the ride height). Any way this is what is done when I got it:50k on the rebuild, 4 2 1 header, Lightweight flywheel, stage 1 clutch, 98 front/rear bumper, 98 red tail lights, no rust, inside it's super clean. Outside needs a paint job, front rear bumpers and passenger door. All replaced but awfully quick paint job. However I feel that I shouldn't make a car look fast if it isn't.

What I've done so far: Front brake pads and I will be doing a full tune up as soon as it gets a little warmer out, I hate the cold of Ohio. Also new timing belt, water pump, thermostat, radiator, AC compressor

I have limited knowledge, a few friends that can provide some help.

So I know that I need to lower this thing ASAP, I've been told that price and brand of coil-overs doesn't really matter. Is that truth? How about these then?

Okay and next thing how about a turbo? I have been looking through the forum about turbo info but the couple of beers that I've had won't allow me to process what I'm reading. So any extra information you want to give on my thread let me have it or I'll read and research sober in the future!!

So would this work?

I'm sure I'd have to do some fuel system work and build up the engine

About 1500 to invest right now


Oh yeah I'm driving a 97 integra ls non vtec and I think that the car had a manual swap because the cruise control doesn't work.

Well that's all I have for right now. One more miller lite and then bed.

i wouldnt buy those coilover sleeves, they look like ebay brand, and you wanna stay away from those. the cheap route isnt always the best route, and with cars is almost never the right route

I agree that cheapest isn't always best and after very little little research I've read some horror stories on those cheap sleeves
