Can anyone recomend suspesion or something that can stifen the rear just a bit and posibly slightly lower to get better traction which is my objective. The suspension ATM is all stock with stock 15inch wheels. And I dont want to lower the rear by too much, posibly by 1-2cm. And if someone could give me a quote how much it should cost that be great too.

Thanks guys/girls.

some kg/mm springs will do the trick

the bloke called wojtek is the one to talk to... very helpful.

they are techs/enthusiasts first, salesmen second. i believe the 'control' range of springs is around 20mm lower than the stock R springs, the rate is marginally stiffer too.

otherwise, apparently eibach and h&r have some good aftermarket springs for dc2's.

Keep your stock suspension!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It could come very handy the day u decide to sell your ITR.

I'm having the H&R sport springs fitted to my DC2 ITR at the moment.
Should lower the car by 20mm.
Will post the results after the road test. 8)

I want adjustable, so shocks and springs. I want it to be as stocky feel as posible thats all and not like 2mm of the ground lower but just a bit lower.

tanghy
13-03-2004, 09:24 PM

How am I going to adjust my height with coilovers?

I think I need the whole suspension. Which gets me back to my 1st point, what brand?

tanghy
13-03-2004, 09:28 PM

Look man, did I say im on a strict budget? im ready to pay for quality not for half assed shit. Dont take that as if im having a go at you, im just trying to get a simple question answered, regardless of price. (well gota be reasonable).

decent coilovers start at 2k, some people flip when you mention a number that big
just giving u a warning...

good jap models
buddyclub racing spec, zeal s6, cusco zero2 etc

felix on rsx has zero2, jim on rsx has RS, go there & do some research

The stock suspension is very good, which means to improve on it i really think you need to go for coil-overs, rather than just springs or shocks. Obviously the stock springs and shocks are designed to work in harmony, if you change one, you should change the other.

I suggest Buddy Club Racing Spec or Zeal S6/Super Function.

edit: my brain is fried, spec III is exhaust...

id look at tein superstreet coilovers, as they are made for australian road conditions - hence more cumfy, not stiff and bumpy. i believe they would be under 2k for a dc2 (was quoted $1300 for my 99 ek hatch, from an ozhonda trader maby jdm imports). they are good quality brand.

look at the spring rates when choosing a set. higher rates = stiffer.
personally i feel buddyclubs racing spec coilover might be just a little to stiff, if ur only after a slightly stiffer feel.

why not buddyclub n+ coilovers, there slightly less stiff, less pricy, and still great quality?
