90-97 sleave coilovers will work. Their's no reason why the teg coilover wouldn't work, all of them should allow you to use your original top strut assembly. Teg's use 2 bolt top mounts in the front.

Jim, were you running coilovers in your car?

[AZmike]

No, he had H&Rs all around, Konis rear and revalved Bilsten's (sp?) front

No, but that was plan B. Since the revalved Bilsteins worked out so good I was either going to get B&G suspension springs(stiffer than the H&R's I was running) or stiffer than normal Ground-Controls.

will 90 integra lowering springs work in our cars? my friend got coilovers and i think he still has his lowering springs,

The fronts will work, but the rear's won't. Our cars use 3" wide coil springs, civic's and tegs use 2 1/2" rear springs. The other thing is, if they drop a teg say 2", would they drop the same on our cars? I'm going to the junk yard today and I'm going to try and pull a 90-93 teg rear strut/spring assembly. What I really want is a rear 3rd gen strut assembly to compair it to, I don't have any as I sold them.

I just thought of something. You could use those teg springs if you purshased a pair of rear coilover kits ($70 for 2) from opMotorsports, they use 2 1/2" springs, that would work.

Let us know. I remember reading that KYB makes a decent adjustable strut for the Integras for quite a bit less than the Konis. Having two (or three if you want to pay for revalving) choices for struts is pretty lame. If they matched up that would open up a few more options hopefully.

Dang it I wasn't able to get to the junk yard today, I'll try tomarrow.

[Jims 86LXI HB]

Oh well the integra that was at the junk yard is no more, I'll try another time.

[Justanothermike]

the struts and springs off of the 3rd gen integra and 5th and 6th gen civics will fit but will probably have problems. the rears are much shorter and if u use coilovers the perch will have to be all the way at the top. the fronts are much longer and the perch will have to be all the way at the bottom and u will run into botoming out problems. if u get the perfect length springs and adjustable perches then they may work, but u'll have to try a lot of combinations.

Thank you mike, I'm very gratefull for your post. We have a member that says he pulled 2nd gen teg struts off a junk yard car and he's running them on his car. I still question if the strut travel range's are where they are surposed to be doing that. I guess I need to break down and call Koni or Bilstein and get the factual demension's on both cars. I'm pretty sure the 2nd and 3rd gen's don't share aftermarket struts, I wonder why?

So at this point I'm thinking about 2nd or 3rd gen teg struts, OpMotorsports basic springless coilover kit's and individual springs from ground-control. Picking the right length of spring would require some thought, but I think it can be done. Providing everything check's out, so far it's still in the maybe stage, keeping in mind the info mike brings to the subject.
