what are you looking to do? Do you want a performance spring? I was kinda hoping that you were modding the Pacer.

H&R has a nice selection, I'm no expert on springs though.

Eibach makes a very nice coil-over kit for your car.

You can adjust the height to whatever you want whenever you want from .8 to 2.0"

i was thinking about these as well, a bit more than what i want but those would be nice.

I'd say whatever springs are closest to stock spring rates. You don't want ricer bounce if you're using stock struts. Also I wouldn't get coil overs for a DD personally....after one winter they're generally not very adjustable.

I'm with you, you can find lowering springs with stock-like characteristics.

When i first read it i didn't think anything of it. I thought you were talking about a constant washboard bounce. Oh well. I hate phones trying to figure you out.

It looks like people like the suspension techniques springs. It's just over a 1" drop, they seem pretty cheap and work with stock struts. Also it looks like the skunk2's are a good choice.

The integra's shocks are actually pretty good and can handle a good amount of rate/drop from the springs.

However, to do this drop, if it's a midwest car, you're probably going to need new LCAs. The rear shock bolts are usually rusted in place where they meet the LCAs. Usually, you have to cut them out and get new bushings or just replace the LCAs. You'll probably need new rear shocks as well.

Anyway, there are a ton of good springs out there. Eibach pro kits are a subtle drop and close to stock ride quality. You could always get ground control coilovers. They're around $300. They're just the sleeves that you place over your stock shocks.

My Daily driver 99 Si has 150k miles, stock shocks (not replaced...the real stock factory shocks from 1999...Honda shocks last forever), Ground controls, and is dropped around 2'' or 2.5''. I've tracked the car and drive it on shitty roads daily. Very little, if any bouncing. Nice firm ride quality, adjustable height, lifetime warranty on the coilovers, etc. It's a really nice setup.

Stock ITR springs are another option. They're about a 1'' drop and will definately maintain OEM ride quality...cuz they're OEM springs. They're firmer than stock and ITRs are set to handle very nicely.
