help me decide on which coilovers..

Senior Wagonist
so after reading the sticky up top over and over and doing some more searching i have found that i want to use the integra DA coilovers for my wagon.
since the wagon is a bit heavier then any other civic i thought the bit more beefier integra DA suspension should be good.
i plan on using the wagon as a daily driver and occasionally haul some heavier equipment around town.
im doing this mostly to lower it down.
no drag racing or tracking will be done.
i believe that the ones i need for my 91 wagon are DA integra 90-93 fitment. please verify me.
keeping pricing out of the equation.
just use anything else as a factor for convincing me why i should use that model or brand.
example; fitment, construction quality, ride quality, warrenty, history with good or bad experiences with other owners, adjustable or not, etc...
i was thinking of these setup.
1. 90-93 Acura Integra D2 Racing RS 36 Way Damper/Rebound Adjustable Coilover System
2. 90-93 Acura Integra Ksport Kontrol Pro Damper Coilover System
3. 90-93 Acura Integra Skunk2 Pro-Series Pro-S Full Coilover Kit

after i read that link, i assume there is no other mods needed to make the DA coilovers to work on the wagons. again if someone with experience knows for sure just chime in.
mine is 4wd.
the ride on this car is kinda important as i dont want to be ridding like i am racing. i just want to look low.
anyways, i got some PIC's and they are super stiff, i hauled myself and 3 others around with them set all the way to stiff and my car hardly even lowered with everyone in it. the ride quality is pretty damn good, just a lot stiffer. EX. you can feel everything on the road.
The brakes you have on the car shouldnt make a difference.
I hear good things about the k-sports, but no personal experience. Ive had good luck with Teins, but they are spendy. Tein doenst have a wagon specific setup, but I talked to numorous people there and at SEMA about a custom setup and all they wanted from me was corner weights and pix of the suspension and they said they would get me hooked up. Who knows now though. Im no longer affiliated with any speed shops.
you divide by .0179
so my fronts are 559lbs. and rears are 782lbs.
also if you go from lbs to kg, you just multiply by .0179
Something is not jiving with those numbers. If your spring rates are that high your car would ride terrible. It dont think the car weighs enough to compress spring rates that high.
Also, the higher spring rates are generally in front. The only ones who use stiffer springs in back are track/autox cars. I tried it one. Handled great, on the daily, not so much. Rough rider from hell.
450.00 for a brand new set of d2 full coilovers.
i am helping another member get them as well.
if anyone else wants a d2 coilover let me know.
i can help you out too.
i may be getting the EF fitment and he maybe getting the EF fitment. i can get either the DA fitment or the EF fitment. the price is the same for either one.
i guess for the price i dont mind giving the d2 a try.
I would go Skunk2, are you are able to get Daiyama? They slightly cheaper than D2/Ksport over here ($900 as opposed to $1100)
but i can get the d2 for 450.00.
also i think s2 is probably the lowest model as well.
with the d2 i get a higher model with a bit more options on it.
i am very curious which version i should get?
the ones for the DA or the EF?
anyone with experience with either versions?
get Tein basic Dampers

pm me your number.
but with coilovers the only thing youll need to figure out for yourself, wether you want stiffer or softer rates.
you and toy tinker took too long to reply back to me if you wanted the stuff, as of yesterday the prices went up on the skunk2 line.
