Swaybar or Springs or Shock

[arron]

Hey.. got another noob question for you guys to flame me with... Application is a dc2r...

Q. To reduce the amount of roll on the dc2r, would you:

1. Change to a thicker swaybar
2. Change to a harder spring
3. Change to a height adjustable shock
4. Change all the above
5. Or the dc2r is better left untouched if I'm only going to change just one component..

any help is greater appreciated!

Personally if it was me, I'd fit JDM '98 spec front 25mm and rear 23mm sway bars and fit some fairly street friendly coilovers or Spoon Progressive springs.

I have stock 24mm front and the above 23mm rear with Type R springs and shocks on my VTi-R and there is very little roll. also check your tyre pressures as they will dull the excellent handling.

FIGHTEX Dual Adjustable Coilovers !!!

dc2r suspesion set up is good standard, u prolly jsut need a good set of adjustable coilovers and it will do the job.

Personally id start by increasing the size of your front and rear roll bars. Your car will roll much less, while still being nice and comfy as a daily driver. This is the cheapest option.

You could go to stiffer springs (and get some stiffer shocks to match, later down the track), or coilovers this will very likley make the ride harsher, especially on bumpy roads. Koni yellows with a ground control sleaves/springs set performs extremly well for the price.

IMO go for stiffer swaybars if you want to decrease roll, without stiffening the suspension with coilovers or shocks/springs.

If you want a stiffer ride at the same time, look into springs/shocks or coilovers to reduce the roll. Stiffer springs/shocks generally gives better performance on smooth roads, on bumpy roads, it can be detrimental to performance. It takes quite a jump in spring rates to reduce roll significantly, to half the roll angle, you would need to increase the spring rate MORE than double.
