Adjustable Coilovers Improve Suspension
Have you been thinking about lowering your Acura Integra suspension, or maybe tightening your suspension to improve your car’s handling? A high quality Coilover Kit may be just what you need. The factory springs and struts installed on your Integra were designed for comfort, not performance, or they might be starting to sag over the years of service, and how your Integra handling is suffering.
So, how are you going to fix it? Aftermarket lowering springs lower your Integra suspension by half an inch to two inches, improving the stiffness of your Integra and creating a lower center of gravity for greater handling stability. Lowering springs are a good low-cost choice for daily drivers who are looking for a lower look and a better ride than stock.
Coilover Kit can make your suspension stiffer than lowering springs. You adjust your suspension using a special set of wrenches supplied with your coilover Kit. Coilovers are for casual racers who need to stiffen their rides for a launch, or for people who want to slam it to the ground at a car show.
You have most likely noticed by now that there are dozens of coilover Kits on the market and, as with so much in life, you get what you pay for. The quality of a $800 coilover Kit is going to be much higher than for a $200 Kit. Not to mention the $1000 plus coilover Kit that feature fully adjustable height and shock dampening of your Acura Integra. Spec-wise, the biggest difference is going to be in the spring rate the better coilover Kits will be much stiffer. A good coilover Kit benefits from a lot of research and testing rigidity, bound, rebound, and other factors. In short, your Integra handling will smoother with every dollar spent.
Due to the danger of personal injury or damage to your Acura Integra the installing of new suspension components should only be attempted by trained Acura Integra suspension professionals.
