I am doing air on my 91 on air but wish I went with hydros. You are going to have to cut the hell out of it just lay pinch. The rocker would require enormous amount of work.

your gonna have to camber the wheels a lot to get smoothies to tuck. i have 18" smoothines on my 92 wagon, looked badass but never got around to rebuilding shit to get a good alighnment in the rear. looked badass with the crazy camber

well the smoothies i want are 17s and they are only 7 inches wide
and as for it layin out i am DEFINITELY cutting the hell out of it lol but i dont know if i neccesarily need it to lay rockers bc the rockers on these integras are so weak .. pinch welds is fine with me

juice would be a ton easier, and ride just as good

17s should be alot easier than 18s. Mine is on 18s now but I have 17s sitting here waiting for tires. Car is being held up by the fenders in the front about 1.25" off the pinch. The rear is about 5/8" off the pinch

I put the 17's on. I really only have a few pictures since I just rough cut everything out to fit around the tires. Nothing is welded back up since the front tower has to be move inward and upward plus a new shock fork needs to be made. The spindle is cut an inch and a quarter and lengthened at the bottom but I can't find the pics. It looks doubtful that the a-arm will clear the hood when I get it to the pinch. The fenders need to be flared.

The rear has the Held trailing arms and redrilled the shock mounts .75". That gets the lower arm mounts to the ground. I have only cut down on one side, once the other side is cut, the gas tank should be on the ground. Still won't be on the pinch though. Then there is the exhaust that needs some extra room.

I decided to change to hydraulics to make the front easier.
