Right, I imagine this is a pretty simple job....

However; I don't want to spend absolutely ages faffing about with ride height. I'll be installing my MeisterR's as soon as possible. If anyone has any tips on what to look out for/things to do, I'd be grateful!

I have a lot of speed bumps on the way to work as well, I sail over them no problem with 2000 spec sport suspension so I reckon 30mm drop will be safe on the standard 17"s.

I've got a rough idea of what I'm doing, I've fitted tein super streets to a DC5 integra before. The worst part was taking it out for rides and setting everything up properly once they were fitted.

Ideally, I'm after some easy tips for making the calibration easier!

I was worried you might say that Big Grin

Google hasn't turned up much. I'm hoping I'll be able to do it in a couple of hours, then bomb it down to work to calculate minimum ride height for speed bump related death.

I will fit mine soon too (Teins) and will be going fore about 30mm up front and 40mm rear. This is what I ran before, the car sits well, yet speed bumps and other uneven ground (like the entrance to my drive!) shouldn't be a problem. You may want to give that a try. Fitment shouldn't be too difficult, I am gonna give mine a go myself.

jay_russell fitting mine as soon as they arraive, i can do a walk through guide if there is not one around.

If you could, that would be a great idea, as I don't think there is decent one around.
