[Ellipsis]

Finally got the chance to get these D2 springs installed.

Those are just springs? How does it ride with such a reduced travel?

In my area you'd hit EVERYHITNG being that low. I have just a 3/4in drop on my Mustang and still scrape stuff.

It looks nice but unfortunately a bit low to be usable for me. Same issue as @bullitt . My previous car had a 1" drop and it would scrape a lot of driveways.

There's no way in hell the stock car will be that low. It will be no lower than the stock CTR.

I've driven plenty of low cars. I still have an rx7 that is at the bottom of the coilovers. Not scraping comes down to the way you drive.

I have road work that I hit if I go over at road speeds on my height. If I need to literally slow to 10mph and drive like im on a sloam. and swerve onto the shoulder and other lane to go down regular roads, it's to low.

Or if you drag frame going over speed bumps like I did in my early years.

Honestly, every car is different due to the underbody ground clearance and front/rear overhangs. I never scraped my rx7 but I drove my buddy's rx8 1 time and scraped the shit out of his lip since it protruded so much further than I was used to.

The underside of the new Integra is nice and flat compared to some other cars I’ve driven before. Yesterday I parked in a parking garage with some crazy ramps going up in between floors. I didn’t scrape once, and I’m currently lowered about 2” on coilovers.

For real. Oddly my Bullitt is lowered and I've hit a few things, mostly with my subframe bracing, but my 2003 Mach1 was NOT lowered and even stock the front lip would rub on a LOT of things. I even rubbed in and out of parking ramps on my non-lowered 2014 Altima. I'd have HATED to know what a lowered car or even a sports car would have done.

My last car was a 2004 Mystichrome Cobra, and the Borla exhaust hung real low. That combined with a moderate drop always had me on edge about going to new places.

Last car? Why did you get rid of that? I would still love a terminator...

 

[JC-RH]

It’s a long story. Had my fun. In the end, I could only keep one car. No regrets.

Damn I LOVE the lowered look!!! Whip looks mean

Hate to be a party pooper, but these are terrible springs for a number of reasons. 10th Gen Si's that the Integra shares these adaptive dampers with are showing signs of accelerated wear, including blown dampers. The 2" drop with a low spring rate compresses the damper beyond a safe travel range, so you are bottoming out a lore more frequently which leads to a harsh ride. Being under heavy compression + incorrect spring rate means your dampers are expected to wear out a lot faster. Let's not forget that the Integra weighs 250lbs more than the 10th Gens that these were designed for, so that's additional load bearing on the dampers that will reduced to even further wear.

Anytime I ask guys why they bought these springs is because they're cheap + they offer the lowest drop. What they don't consider is that each Si/Integra Damper costs $500 USD/$700 CAD to replace, so come time to fix the mess it's going to hurt your wallet. Secondly, most guys that are trying to spend less with these springs also don't spend on a camber kit, so they end up with accelerated tire wear and worn out bushings faster.

Wow, just noticed you're also from Toronto. Sorry to say brother, any shop selling these springs whether in our city or online anywhere are more interested in lining up their pockets with sales rather than selling a quality product to customers. I could make a killing selling these because the young ones want the most for the cheapest but I've always given this setup a hard no because I wouldn't trust them on my own cars. In two or less winter seasons you will see that the springs are rusted out from the salt on our roads, and that's before considering that a single hard pothole on our lovely roads will do immediate damage.

Sorry to sound a bit harsh, I've had way too many cars roll through the shop needing repairs because they went with these at first since they weren't told/researched better.
