dc2r springs on eg

[jooboo]

just wandering if dc2r integra typeR srpings will fit on a EG civic

[EGB16A]

i believe so, and its supposed to be a good upgrade from standard EG springs

Will fit, ride height might differ to dc2r though.

[destrukshn]

definately will fit..
got em fitted on my car atm.
and makes a hell of a difference from standard.

For what it's worth I've just fitted Type R suspension to my DC2 and it has transformed the car. Being a little heavier makes for a slightly softer ride than the DC2R but it sits flat, gets power down much more efficiently, no pitching during braking and acceleration, while remaining very firm but comfortable, no crashing over bumps either.
Visually the wheel arch gap above the tyres is equal front to rear thus making the front marginally lower than the rear. Overall lowered by approx. 25mm.
The EG is much lighter, 950kg I think? So the springs won't compress quite as far, perhaps close to 20mm lower than stock, and will feel firmer.
The best part is it doesn't draw unwanted attention at this height but still looks good and rides brilliantly.
:D

is this just the springs???and how much would you guys pay for dc2r springs??

Springs and shocks (only 23,000kms) I paid $300 plus shipping from Brisbane and $245 for Rear lower control arms from JDMyard.
I would have happily paid up to $500 for less than 50,000kms.

im under the understanding that eg , ek , dc springs are all interchangable only the spring rate differs.


how does the car sit in ride height just out of curiousity

I don't think they fit EK. I don't have any photos yet but there's an even gap above tyres to the guards front and rear. The best I could describe is that the gap is a little closer to the guard at the top than the sides and more so at the front.
EDIT: pics below :arrowd:

EG and Type R chassis fully loaded are approximately the same weight... seems like a good BFYB upgrade to swap over to ITR sussy - not just springs... though i guess then the issues is finding ITR LCAs...

personally it still sits a little too high for me :)

Good BFYB upgrade for sure! I got my lca's from JDMyard but not always available. Find their link in traders and email them.:thumbsup:
BTW here's my type r equipped DC2.
