Hey guys, just bought my dc2r 2 weeks ago, and starting to start the stages of modification. I want to lower the thing, but suitable for day to day driving.
Would you guys recommend super lows?
any pics would be sweet as well.

i would suggest a proper spring and shock combo, not kings on stock shocks thats forsure. if you have enough $$ then get coilovers imo.

stock dc2r height is good. the handling on it is good too.

Don't change would be best. If you must then just save and get coils.

if youre tight on cash, bc coilovers is the way to go even though its taiwanese they've got a solid start on the br model though with my ep had to get shortenned tie rods for proper toe since i couldnt get a proper allignment on the car same goes for even monoflex had problems on ep3. however dc2 could be different and not have the same problem when you get coils but theres a slight chance of getting inverted tie rods.


but since its a dc2r i dont think you should replace it with springs or even if you did the shocks n spring combo might aswell get a coilover kit so you can muck around and adjust the damper stiffness/softness.

I Have tein flex coilovers on my dc2r and the ride is awesome. You can adjust the height and damper to suit your ride comfort. Attached is my ITR lowered only a little bit on the Tein Flex. You do not drive a commodore/falcon so king springs are a no no!

See my mate is giving me kings for cheap. Why don't you recommend kings on stocks besides price?

The Super Lows will cause the stock struts to work right at the bottom of their stroke and destroy them very quickly.
Then you'll come back and be looking for new struts or coilovers :)
