What did you do to your Integra Type S today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

[Integra23]

The ones people have been using were engineered for the FK8. They fit, but the spring rates could be better. Zygrene's latest video hints that he's been in direct contact with Ohlins and he'll have them on his car pretty soon, for a GA release shortly after. I can't recall exactly but the FK8 spring rates were ~12kg rear and 8kg front? And the DE5 kit will be 6kg all around. Don't quote me on that though.

Very happy! It looks even better than expected. I do kind of wish I had springs but it looks great regardless.

I did notice a bit more torque steer and different on-center feel that I'll have to get used to... but I'd categorize it as "noticeable" but also "minimal". Not enough to deter anyone from putting wheels on their car if they want them IMHO.

We'll see how the air goes in the morning lol. They were slightly underinflated when I picked the car up (~33psi warm), but I'll keep an eye on them.

How about the TTX?

usually suspension related noises are loud knocks. First thing that came to mind is a small rock is lodged somewhere and it's hitting something when the wheels are turned. Since it's fairly high pitched clicking I feel like the brake dust shields may be involved.

Also, did everything get torqued to spec? not over or under torqued?

Probably not torqued to spec. The shop did the good ole sharpie torque method, where they drew lines before taking off the bolts and lining them back up. Figured that is somewhat ok, maybe under torqued if anything.

Those look EXPENSIVE. And quite excessive for my use case. I feel like something like that would be made custom to order based on exact specifications that I just do not have at the moment lol.

Agree with the swift springs comment. The ride is a tad more harsh, but what I hate is that my suspension makes a weird clicking noise when I have the wheels turned and moving. Both sides do it and I can’t figure out the cause. Everything looks ok from my inspection. Take a listen.

Mine does the same thing, stock springs

Maintenance wash and snapped some pictures.

OG Volk Racing stickers go on the TEs tomorrow.

I'm sure that won't be fun to sort. It sounds like either a lower control arm nut is not adequately tight, or the bushing is shot. (The latter should not happen with a new car.) It happens on BMWs, and those also use MacPherson struts. It could also be a CV joint, but I doubt that would have been damaged in the install process. I'd also check the top mounts to make sure there's no binding - it happens on Porsches, also Mac struts, but usually only at close-to full lock and the noise is different.

Decided to mount the OEM 265/30s onto my TE37s and snapped a few shots of them on. Still undecided on whether I love the TEs or Advans more. They’ll probably end up getting some 265/35s or 275s bc the thin sidewalls aren’t cutting it for me.

They both look amazing. I'm not normally such a fan of TE37s (due to ubiquity), but they look great in 19" and bronze on that Apex Blue.

seriously, both look great. It's a problem I wish I had.

They're both badass!

Finally got the wheels on the car. Yep, dent’s still there.

man that red is beautiful!

Looks great! I agree, I feel TE37s and similarly designed wheels need meat.

Can you give me information about your wheel/tire set up?

Washed with ONR, wiped down with Gyeon Prep, and layered on some Kamikaze Miyabi Coat and ISM Coat. Letting it sit in the garage for the next couple of days to cure.
