Default Suspension help needed

Car 94 ls integra
future plans: turbo around 250whp

ok i want to upgrade my suspension before any major motor work.

I dont think i want coilovers cause i dont have the need to lower and higher my car every now and then.

After searching i came up with a few good results for my car

kyb agx with h&r race/sport springs

or

koni yellows with with h&r race/sport springs

what the big difference between these two shocks anyways i was wondering what else would i need to complete this setup would i need a chamber kit ?????

If you have the money I would got with the Koni yellows. I think they are the best on the market for the price. I would go with Ground Controls also instead of the H&R, just my opinion but the H&R are good springs.

Koni yellows with some ground control lowering springs. H&R sucks. If you have the money go with some Tein coilovers instead of the Ground Controls, though. A camber kit would be good, and if you're thinking more straight line then get some traction bars too.

Define "bouncy". You do realize suspension is around to STIFFEN up your car, that means you feel everything in the road, if this is a problem you may want to re-think this plan.

tein has always been pretty much top of line to my knowledge but therefore a bit more expensive. definitely get a camber kit and as far as it being bouncy, if you have springs rather than coilovers and your shocks and springs have been installed correctly it shouldnt be much different than stock suspension. I think what you're reffering to is when you set up your coilovers to handle better say for autox and then dont change the settings back for street driving it will be a rough ride. talk to bodyrollin' though he is the suspension god

I am riding on koni yellow's and an eibach pro kit... I really like this setup a lot. It's not to "bouncy" and I can actually adjust it very easly to be very soft or very stiff. I am also using skunk 2 upper control arms (camber kit) for the front and just some washers in the back and I have no problems with my camber at all. My car is pretty damn low too...
