Acura Integra Coilovers

On a 1994 to 2001 Integra, the shape of the mount at the bottom of the rear shock, a fork or an eye, decides which BC, KW, TEIN and Ksport kits fit. Add the Type R, Japanese-market (JDM) kits and a new Integra from 2023, and there are a lot of choices. We list all our Acura Integra coilovers below by generation, with BC Racing first in each.

Look at the rear shock first, then call 1-800-460-9106 if you are unsure.

Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.

Start with your Integra

Three things to check before you pick a kit

Take these one at a time. Each one narrows down which kits fit.

1. Rear fork or rear eye

BC names one DC2 kit "Rear Fork" and another "Rear Eye". For the Type R, the KW, TEIN Flex Z and Ksport kit names also say eye mount.

2. Type R or not

Several brands make a separate kit for the 1997 to 2001 Type R. TEIN, KW, Ksport, Fortune Auto and BC all do.

3. USDM or JDM

Fortune Auto has separate US-market (USDM) and Japanese-market (JDM) kits for the DC2, and BC's rear eye kit says JDM Type R.

Not sure what you have? A look at the rear shock's lower mount settles most questions. Call us and describe what you see.

BC Racing across the Integra years

Five BC Integra kits, four series

BC Racing coilovers for the Integra come in four series: BR, DS, ER and ZX. You can get BR on the 1986 to 1993 kits, the Type R kit and the 2023 to 2025 kit. DS comes on every kit after 1989. ER and ZX come on both 1994 to 2001 kits. Free shipping on BC Racing kits in the continental US.

Which Integras get BR, DS, ER and ZX

Here is which Integra kits come in each BC series.

BR fits most Integras

One knob with 30 clicks sets compression and rebound together. You can get it on every BC Integra kit except the 1994 to 2001 rear fork kit.

DS, 1990 on

DS uses the same one-knob, 30-click setup, plus a digressive piston for firmer control. It comes on every BC Integra kit after the first generation.

ER and ZX for 1994 to 2001

ER is an upright shock with an external oil reservoir and separate 30-click adjustment for compression and rebound. ZX is the setup BC calls its "most track-tested."

To get Swift Springs on a BC Integra kit, order through the Custom Build for BC Coilovers page. The new A-Spec and Type-S also have their own Swift spring sets.

TEIN, KW, Fortune Auto and more

Seven more brands make Integra parts we carry. Call 1-800-460-9106 with questions about any of them.

TEIN

If you want TEIN Integra coilovers, there are eight kits in all. The DA9 gets Street Basis Z. The DC2 and DC4 get Mono Sport and Flex Z, plus Street Advance Z and Street Basis Z for cars with fork-type lower mounts. The Type R has its own Mono Sport and Flex Z, and the new Type S gets RX1.

KW

KW has a DC2 kit, plus a Type R kit made for lower eye mounts on the rear axle.

Fortune Auto

Fortune Auto kits are hand-assembled in Powhatan, Virginia. There are four DC2 kits: USDM, JDM, and two JDM Type R kits.

Feal

Feal has kits for the DA and the DC2.

Ksport

Ksport has a DA-era kit, a DC2 kit, and a Type R kit made for a rear eyelet mount.

Öhlins

Öhlins has a cancellation kit for the electronic adaptive shocks on the Integra Type S.

Swift Springs

Swift has two spring sets, one for each trim: A-Spec (DE4) and Type-S (DE5).

Where to start: classic, Type R or new Integra

A street DC2

A street DC2 needs only a modest drop. Check fork or eye, then pick your DC2 coilovers.

Kits to look at: BC Racing DS (rear fork), TEIN Flex Z, Ksport, Feal
The Type R

Acura gave it upgraded suspension and brakes. Pick a kit made for the Type R and adjust from there.

Kits to look at: BC Racing (rear eye, JDM Type R), KW, TEIN Mono Sport or Flex Z, Ksport, Fortune Auto
The new Integra

For 2023 and newer, BC has a kit named Integra FWD. The Type S has adaptive (electronic) shocks; TEIN makes an RX1 kit for it, and Öhlins sells a kit to cancel the ADS system.

Kits to look at: BC Racing BR or DS (Integra FWD), TEIN RX1 (Type S)

Integra kits, newest first

The Type R has its own section. Open any card for the price and full kit name.

The new Integra, 2023 to 2025

Codes: DE4; Type S DE5
Check first: The BC kit here is named for 2023 to 2025 and front-wheel drive. It does not name the Type S, which has adaptive shocks. TEIN and Swift name the Type S by its DE5 code. The Öhlins ADS cancellation kit is named 2017-2023, DE4; call us to confirm it fits.

Integra Type R coilovers, 1997 to 2001

Codes: DC2 Type R
Check first: Look at the rear shock mount. BC, KW, TEIN Flex Z and Ksport name their Type R kits for a rear eye or eyelet. The BC and Fortune Auto kits say JDM Type R; the KW, TEIN and Ksport kits do not. Call us to confirm before ordering.

Integra coilovers, 1994 to 2001, DC2 and DC4

Codes: DC2, DC4
Check first: BC names this kit "Rear Fork." It comes in DS, ER and ZX, not BR. BC's rear eye kit is in the Type R section. Fortune Auto has a USDM kit and a JDM kit, so pick the one for your car.

Before you buy: what Integra owners run into

Here is what Integra owners report most often on owner forums, in recalls and in service bulletins, and what each point means for your coilovers.

Rear camber after lowering
Third generation (DC2/DC4), 1994 to 2001

A lowered Integra owner on Honda-Tech reports the inside tire edges wearing out. Other owners suggest a camber kit and alignment, with toe a likely cause. A parts maker sells rear camber kits for this Integra and links negative camber to uneven tire wear. A big drop can exceed the stock arms' camber range.

Before you install: Keep the drop modest or budget for a rear camber kit, and get a full alignment with toe set after the install.

Cracked rear trailing arm bushings
Third generation (DC2/DC4), 1994 to 2001

Owners report rear trailing arm bushings found cracked or worn out on these Integras. MotoIQ's DC2 project replaced all the worn rubber bushings, noting the trailing arm bushing helps control toe under side and braking loads. A torn trailing arm bushing lets rear toe move, which coilovers cannot fix.

Before you install: Inspect the rear trailing arm bushings during the install, replace them if cracked, and align afterward.

The Integra story

The car that launched Acura

The Acura brand launched on March 27, 1986, with the first-generation Integra. Acura later dropped the Integra name in the US, then brought it back.

  1. 1990
    Second generationA 3-door hatchback and 4-door sedan, with double wishbones at all four corners. The GS-R followed in 1992 with a 160 hp 1.7-liter.
  2. 1993
    Third generationDebuted in fall 1993 as a 3-door and 4-door. In 1997, the Type R came to the US for the first time.
  3. 2002
    The RSX yearsThe RSX name replaced Integra in the US. Its kits are on our RSX page.
  4. 2023
    The Integra returnsThe first factory-turbocharged Integra. Acura says the 2024 Type S is the most powerful Integra yet.

The Integra has used more than one rear shock mount over the years. Check yours before you order coilovers for your Acura Integra.

Integra coilovers: common questions

Rear fork or rear eye: how do I tell?

Look at the bottom of the rear shock where it meets the suspension. A fork has two arms that straddle the mount; an eye is a single round bushing. If you are unsure, call and describe it, and we will help.

Which BC Racing series fit the Integra?

It depends on the car. BR comes on the early cars, the Type R and the new car. DS comes on all but the first generation. ER and ZX come on the 1994 to 2001 kits.

Why does the BC rear fork kit not come in BR?

BC sells that kit in DS, ER and ZX only. We do not know of a published reason, so call us if you want BR.

Is there a kit for the 2023 and later Integra?

Yes. BC has a 2023 to 2025 kit named Integra FWD; the name does not include the Type S. The Type S has a TEIN RX1 kit of its own.

Do JDM kits fit a US Integra?

For the regular DC2, Fortune Auto has separate USDM and JDM kits. For the Type R, the BC and Fortune Auto kits say JDM, while the KW, TEIN and Ksport kit names do not. Call us and we will check which suits your car.

Can my Integra Type R stay street-friendly on coilovers?

Yes. Start with a modest drop and soft shock settings, then adjust. Acura gave the Type R upgraded suspension from the factory.

What warranty comes with BC Racing kits for the Integra?

BC Racing North America currently lists a two-year limited warranty on full kit orders, subject to its warranty terms. Each of the other brands sets its own warranty terms.
