With the addition of Coil overs on a DC5S integra could I fit 18" rims under the Guards without any hassle? The only reason I want to go down the Coil Over path is because its a quality vehicle and if I want to lower it I want to do it Right!

It's not the size of the rims, but the size and width of the tyres, in addition to the rim offset.Quote:

Reviving an old thread. Im looking into purchasing Blitz Damper ZZ-R coilovers for my dc5r or BC Racing RM Inverted MA Series. Are they both any good?
Nope.
So what would you recommend?
The only DC5 coilovers that I have installed and driven hard enough to vouch for are Mugen N1. Probably not what you are looking for though.
If you want something decent entry level then I would look at Tein SS, they aren't the greatest setup for handling but they are well made, have reasonable spring rates and will maintain decent ride comfort. They won't go too low though and ride comfort will suffer if you try though.
