hey guys im planning to dump my integra. here a pic of the height right now:

im tryna lower my integra, i was wondering wuts a good ride height?? also if you can know of any pics that you can show me of that particular height that would be great. but i dont want it to be to low where my ball joint hits. can i lower my car as is with stock suspension? this is my DD. so im not looking into any fancy parts really but if i really do need new suspension parts then i guess i have to

You can't lower you're car with stock suspension. You need a set of adjustable shocks and some aftermarket springs. Do some research.

you need to
1. search for this topic cause its literally covered every week
2. you can lower with coilover sleeves like ground control if you want stock shocks but they will blow
3. you can get new shocks
4 or instead of 2/3 you can get a new coilover and lower it with that.

cops said im at 19" today...so that means with my Ray's wheels i was 18.5" and i found that to be a good ride height. legal in CA is 22"

my stepdad said that i can lower it by using some lower coil springs. he said that there's a certain limit to to that. but can still use that. i juss wana lower it by 2 inches. im not going to be racing or anything like that. i juss want to simply lower it thats it

ive lowered mine more than 2 inches on coilover sleeves. im 18.5" from ground to the center of the headlight

Pick up some coilovers. You're just gonna scrape your tires if you go really low on a soft spring/shock combo.

If you just want a 2" drop, then just get the Eibach Sportline Kit. They're lowering springs. Keep in mind that you're going to need to get new shocks sooner or later.
