Should i go 7kg in front and 6kg in rear? Or 10kg front and 8kg rear? Don't call me a fuckup but i want to go low and stanced.

    Depends what you prefer, and what suspension set up you use.

    Coilover sleeves on OEM shocks? Doesnt matter, shocks will be to soft
    Full coilovers, doesnt really matter just set the damper how you like it.

    I had 14kg front and 10kg rear in my Integra on Tein coilovers and the ride was terrible (mostly because Tein is crap for anything other than smooth japanese roads) now I run Fortune Auto 500 series with 7kg front and 6kg rear and its much more comfortable, my suspension actually moves now

    Will you be using shortened shocks or are you planning on riding the bump stops?
