the mugen kit suspension goes for about 1100 bucks in japan, however in australia they go for about 1800 plus shipping, for that much could have been Tien or JICs, still he didnt really get ripped of in terms of what product it was and what he paid.

but i personally feel having mugen is like for classy sporty feel car for the road. and your paying for the name. good quality i guess as mugen is one of the only companies who gets full access to honda aswell as spoon.

mugen gauges cost more than 1 grand with all the things you need in japan. defi costs about the same with CU in australia . lol just extra fact

Blisten Shocks and Eibach Springs right? or the other way around?

I've got Tein S-Tech Springs on my car.. and looking at new shocks so looking at the blisten + eibach that you guys all rave about. Have a baby coming along so can't go Tein SS.

Why not just change shocks? You already got springs. :)

Yeah thats what i'm thinking unsure how well the Tein Springs work with the blisten shocks though.... Might go compare the specs of the springs.

The stock shocks aren't working too well with the Tein Springs at the moment. Ride is fine on Aussie Roads... but get nasty jolts sometimes on unexpected patches of road... a little inconsistent at the moment.

Tein SS:
F 1.7" drop, 6.2 spring rate
R 1.3" drop, 2.7 spring rate

Eibach Pro:
F 1.6" drop, ? spring rate
R 1.4" drop, ? spring rate

Eibach ment to be 10-15% stiffer than stock.

I'm guessing the Spring Rate is similar then. Hopefully the shocks would work well with the Tein's then. I'm wondering what differenece to the ride it makes with the difference in ride height between front and back

If i were you i'd get the Eibach springs as well as Bilstein shocks cause what happens if you're not happy with the ride of the Tein/Bilstein combo?I don't know,it may be fine but again what if it isn't?You'll have to pull all 4 shocks out again and replace springs!Trust me you'll be happy with the ride and your wife won't complain.:thumbsup:

Yep definately low...can't compare to tony1234 cause never driven it but can definetly vouch for eibach/koni combination aswell. When I originally got the quote, Bilsteins were alot cheaper than koni's but settled for koni cause had the cash at the time.

Overall, for me worth every cent ;)

This combo is also worth considering as Konis are good shocks.around the same sort of money by memory.
