Acura Integra Eibach Pro Kit and Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs

If you are looking to lower your Acura Integra, there are a lot of different options available, but no option is as trusted and well known as the Eibach suspension company. For the Acura Integra, Eibach offers two different types of lowering springs. We recommend these Eibach Lowering Springs for all of the years of the Acura Integra, from the second generation 1990-1993, to the DC2 and DC4 which is the 1994 to 2001. These are great for both the coupe and sedan, and work on all of the different trim Acura Integra from the LS, RS, GS, GSR and Type R.

Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs

The Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs is designed to lower your Acura Integra enough to get rid of a lot of the wheel gap, but not be slammed, and is great because it is easier on your stock shocks than lowering springs that lower more, and also has a spring rate that retains the ride quality of your Acura Integra which makes it perfect for the daily driver. Many times, the owner might have an Acura Integra that has an aftermarket turbo kit, and has a downpipe that hangs lower than most headers, and it might scrape on the ground over bumps, or when you have too many people in the car. With the Eibach Pro Kit, you don’t have to worry as much, since the drop isn’t as drastic as with other lowering springs.

Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs

The Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs are designed for a much more aggressive drop, and lower your Acura Integra much more. The Eibach Sportline lower your Acura Integra to close more of the wheel gap, and give the car a much more planted and stable feeling, and a lower center of gravity. With the Eibach Sportline, the Acura Integra usually requires a camber kit, but just like with the Pro Kit, the Sportline offers a good ride, spring rates that are reasonable so you don’t feel every pebble on the road, and incredible handling. With the Eibach Sportline, we would recommend upgraded shocks such as the Tokico Illumina for long life, even better handling, and adjustability.

Installing the Eibach Lowering Springs

Installing the Eibach springs are pretty straight forward, and every Pro Kit and Sportline set comes with detailed instructions. You would need standard tools, and a spring compressor. You can get the spring compressor at a local auto parts store such as Pep Boys. They usually let you rent them at either no cost, or very little cost. We recommend getting this. After you install your springs, you should get an alignment for your Acura Integra. At this point, you will see how far your camber is off. Usually, the more you lower your Integra, the more your camber will be off. Don’t forget to pick up a camber kit to get your camber back in line, and your car handling even better!

Is it possible to lower my Integra too much?

Absolutely! Some die hard Integra guys would tell you that the lower the better, but aside from looks, it can hurt your handling. Eibach lowers the car as much as possible while retaining the benefits of having a lowered car.

Here is a video that Eibach released about their lowering springs. The car in the video is not an Acura Integra, but a BMW and they show you the benefits of Eibach. Even though it’s a different car, you can still see the benefits. Enjoy!

In the video they compare the BMW Pro Kit Lowering Springs and the BMW Sport System Plus Kit with stock / OEM suspension.
