from photos looks great, yet to see it, hopefully get to see it this weekend!
If you want to make a dc2r not ride harsh and add sound deadening, etc. my suggestion is to not get one. A dc2r is for the enthusiasts who can live with it. Making it ride softer and adding weight (sound deadening) defeats the purpose of owning one. As everyone is saying, get a dc5r. You'll be happy with it.
You can always disable hicas [awd system] and gtr has bigger engine, better build and upgraded features of basically all gtst products
The AWD system is called ATTESA - Hicas is featured in the GTS-T too, its the rear steering system.
There are pros and cons of owning a GT-R vs GTS-T, depends on what you want to do with the car. GTS-T is cheaper to maintain and lighter, GT-R has better factory fitted motor and AWD.
But why would you spend extra money on a GT-R only to cripple it, when you could simply buy the cheaper, lighter, simpler GTS-T? You wouldn't. Even the RWD N/A Skylines aren't really 'gimped' when compared to the GT-R, as some people will want that setup over an AWD turbo. Each car serves a different purpose.
The Integras, on the other hand, are just a straight progression of three N/A FWDs, making anything less than the Type R redundant, rather than simply different.
