Yes the LSD in the Type S would have been nice (even as an option). Not an overly expensive mod, but a pain to do after-market none the less.

i have seen a number of discussions of people finding the dc5r brembos lacking in overall perfromance even compared to dc2r brakes. there are heaps of brake options which will perform better than the brembos and be easier to install.

and are you saying only suspension and interior should have been changed from JDM or AUDM dc5r?

For the cost of the JDM DC5 Brembo upgrade to our Integras isn't worth it. There are much better and cheaper alternatives that dont require changing hubs etc.

No, its just Ozhonda in general as majority of the drivers here are under 21 hence it won't really interest them (where as the Civic Type R's, Integra Type R's are more suitable for that age bracket).

I've been to market studies for the Type S, where the target market is 25+ (typical purchasers of BMW3's, Audi A4's, Alfas).

Try looking into options like Spoon and Willwood etc.
I believe theres Traders on here selling Spoon Monocoque Caliper for DC5 for around $1850 - Brand new!
