well the title of the tread states for DC5R so if you had half a brain and put the question and the tread title together you would of figured that out.
short fuse? you insulted me first you dikface
anyways if you got nothing relevant to contribute to the thread then get out of the thread keyboard warrior

Well I've been researching a little bit into coilovers for my DC2, but D2's in general seem to have a problem with leaking/staying intact after a short while. Seems like most leak after a few months, they don't really sound like a quality product. I read Tein's used to have a rusting problem with a one-off batch a while ago but now they're absolutely fine, seem to have the best ride comfort/performance compromise.

Basic key to ensuring your suspension will last.....buy Japanese NEVER buy Taiwanese/Korean, ive heard the buddyclub lines are good but not so sure about the N+ i think they are made in korea.

It also depends what you want your car to achieve. If you dont go to the track or rarely do, then ASC(Adjustable Seat Coilovers) are a waste of time/money. Having a DC5R adding some quality suspension braces and upgrade the suspension to Koni Yellow/Eibach Sportline will give you a very noticable performance increase without the harshness / cost of ASC's. I have KYB AGX & Spoon Progressives and the performance is more to be expected considing atm i have the stock 14mm sway and no strut bars except the relatively useless stock front one. Not to mention on the street where body rigidity and sway bars are the best "bang for your buck" as the stiffer your suspension is over a point the less your car performs, as streets are very rarely ever smooth like tracks.

Unless adjustable ride height or Track Performance is of great importance to you, i would recommend a good set of Shocks/Springs.

Kind Regards,
Andrew

DC5 Coilovers are so much more exxy than DC2.

I'd go with the BuddyCrubs man.
