1999 Acura Integra

No, I don't think I personally will often, but given a similar price for the shocks I think it makes sense to be able to make the adjustment. Just as a precaution if nothing else, if I choose spring rate A and decide I'm better off with B, I have a shock that can work with me. Otherwise, I'm sending the shock back for a revalve. In terms of what was driving that statement in general, there are definitely guys who are changing springs often enough to give an adjustable shock an advantage over a custom valved one.

And DG, I wasn't trying to be a dick, I was pretty frustrated last night, just relating what I've read are the reasons so many of the rr/autox/tt guys who are chasing every tenth in every condition run the Koni/GC setup. Well, the ones who aren't spending 2-4K on shocks/springs anyway. The sideways flat brimmers just copy it in an effort to express their individuality and coolness through conformity.

In researching what the HondAcura guys are using I actually came across a thread where the guy was doing exactly what you said, sending his shocks to Stewart. He was asked all kinds of very technical questions like motion ratios and such, some terms I have never even heard. I'm interested in how it turns out, but the whole coil-over thing probably isn't going to happen anytime soon. I'm more interested in getting the other car sorted but wanted to do some research in case I come across something I can't pass up :wink: .

And this morning I got:


Prolly an O2 sensor or the cat which are likely originals. I'll be code checkin' tonight.
