coilovers

[wickedtyper]

what brands of coilovers do you guys recommend for for a DC2R 2000 model... im looking at the apexi n1 streets or the cusco zero2R..... what is the general opinion?

[jdm_kid]

cusco zero 2 or buddy club.
what ever suits ur needs i suppose?

[DC5TYPER]

TEIN all the way.

If I had a DC2 i would get Tein Ultimate Spec Circuit Master $3k with choice of springs :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[EKVTIR-T]

What's your budget and intended purpose?Might help you get better advice.

[wickedtyper]

bout $2000 ish.... mostly street with some track use... PS TEIN arent good... i have a friend that works for HSV that test various types of shocks... he does offside rebuilds and side the TEIN shocks have shitty internals... he said cusco and apexi have pretty good internals

[EKVTIR-T]

Well it's interesting to hear about the Tein's.Alot of people on here won't like that info at all lol.
Only heard great thing's regarding the Zero2's.I've tried them on a FC and they were awesome.

[wickedtyper]

hehehe yeah i know they wont like that.... but thats the way it works... the are a bit cheaper for starters.... and arent bad short term... but crumble under pressure... sorry guys :( im leaning towards the zero 2's so should be good... nothing but the best for my car :D cheers dude

[wickedtyper]

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Zero 2's > buddyclub
my housemates zero2 on his dc2r feels alot better than my BC N+.

on max setting, the zero2's are just stiff!
compared to my BC's max setting which tend to bounce like a mofo.

[wickedtyper]

excellent... thanks dude... now i just need someone to tell me the apexi n1 streets are shit... then ill get the zeros :)

I have the cusco zero 2es on my vtir. Very happy with them. See my thread in the suspension forum which has a bit of discussion in there.

[SHIFTY]

It all depends on what u whant 2 use ur car for...

u should consider just getting some springs if u just whant the car 2 look lowered and have a slightly stiffer ride... this option is much cheaper then coilovers...

although if u are going 2 track ur car often go for some top line coilovers like tein or buddyclub... i have buddyclub racing spec coilovers and they are very good!

If u just whant coilovers for the reason u can say 'i have coilovers' dont bother getting unless ur willing 2 put the money in... dont skimp out on cheap coilovers as they will end up ****ing themselfs sooner or later and its not worth the hassle!

hope that has helped...

:) good luck with ur hunt :)

i was under the impression TEIN HA or australia modded super street were pretty good. I'm looking to use these for street use, no track work, so how long should these tiens last?

i was also under the impression tein were decent. i am in the market for new coilovers as well just for street use. If tein arent any good then what is the recommendation. Budget: about $1000

for 1000, well lets say u get what you pay for... why not do it properly if you are goin to do it, but hey i spose itf its stree use u might get a few years out of them. good luck :D

To many TEIN haters on this website. Alot of these haters dont realise how many different coilovers TEIN have to offer. From cheap Street models to customize your own track setups.

Some have bought the SS model and gave it a bad rating just because it didnt meet there hard driving/track work expectations.

So stop giving a great brand in Coilovers a bad name. Keep your ill-informed and un-researched comments to yourselves.

[wickedtyper]

un-researched???? this is coming from a leader in suspension setups..... they have re-built many tein setups based on SHITTY components..... so i suggest u do UR research buddy before you throw stones....

[SPEEDCORE]

Its amazing what marketing does to peoples minds!

[DUST]

Can anyone who knows there sh!t tell me if a civic (EG? i dont know my civics really) aftermarket coilovers design for them, will it fit onto a DC2? 97 preferably.

Any mucking around to make them fit? etc...

[Spunkymonkey]

EG6 sussy will fit dc2 (front fine) back will require dc2 type r rear lower control arms

[DUST]

Thanks, so where do i get these LCA???

[Spunkymonkey]

check out the parts for sale...and the traders...they quite often come up for sale.

[sleeper]

D2 racing spec 3 coilovers are good and at a reasonable price

So which models of Tein coilovers did they test/rebuild?

[DUST]

EG6 sussy will fit dc2 (front fine) back will require dc2 type r rear lower control arms

OK i got my coilovers delivered to me today, now i just want a confirmation from someone who knows what they are talking about, to answer this question before i take it to a workshop to get it installed.

Will i need DC2R LCAs to install coilovers made for EG6, to install it on my DC2 VTIR? These are Apexi N1 ExV dampers, very nice sussy.

if thats those coilover you got , you dont have to change your rear lca

[DUST]

Thanks EG5, you are of great help. Those are my coilovers in those pics :thumbsup:

I actually measured the LCA length against those coilovers and they are spot on!

Woot no need to spend more money on installing them :D

[simonnowis]

teins for sure.
i was goner get buddyclub n+, but the guy told me these days some buddyclub coilovers arent made in japan and just doesnt have that jap quality.
teins are the way to go or the cusco

[DUST]

Yeh most coilovers are made in Taiwan now... stupid cheap ass

I couldn't beleive it when i saw Apexi was made in Taiwan...

I know D2 are made in taiwan too.

[justinfox]

ALL of J's Racing products are made in Taiwan (yes, even the titanium exhausts). Does that make J's Racing stuff SHIT? Have a think about that one.

Just to put an end to the Buddy club confusion. ALL BUDDY CLUB SUSPENSION IS MADE IN JAPAN.
