justind,
No offense, but you live in Texas and your winters are nothing compared to Michigan.

I don't mind my car at stock height; it works for me. Haters are always gonna hate...

Vi3tBoy,
I'm sure you were brave enough to drive a slammed Integra through the winters but....did you want to? Did it handle great? Was clearance an issues?

Let's be realistic guys... Not all of us can afford to lower our cars, or have second cars, or can deal with the impracticality. Different strokes for different folks.


Regards,
dude i under stand where you are coming from about snow! but get coilovers and lower it in summer and raise it during winner to 1 hour at most to lower and raise right less with a lift

also some coilover manufactures you can order custom spring rates so you could get them as soft as you want!

you if he wanted the tread on his tires to wear even! But its not a bad idea to get a 4 wheel alignment any way I do maybe more depending on my set up

thats costly then, regardless i still think doing a conservative drop is better then stock height,

sicknastyap1,
I have thought about your proposal before but I just don't want the added cost involved with buying coilovers plus two alignments a year. Right now it's easy for me to use my summer and winter wheel/tire set without any rubbing or clearance issues whatsoever. Plus, the cost factor is extremely prohibitive to me right now as I'm preparing for medical school.

Trust me, I've definitely thought this through.

nofar, thanks for the pics.

nobody but you took the time to read that my car is currently on coilovers and too harsh, that being the reason i may switch to stock suspension.

this is useless though, its a ongoing debate of who is lower and has the worst roads.
