    DC5 Type R vs Type S

    Stock for stock the Type S is abit heavier and has more power, would you notice the difference if you drove the cars back to back not knowing which car you were in.

    Im thinking about getting one but would love to get feedback from people that have driven both cars.

    Thanks

    I haven't driven either but I'd go the type s

    It's only like a 20grams heavier anyway

    Type R has LSD, Recaros, Large wing, nice rims.
    Type S has aircon, leather and looks like a regular Integra from afar.

    Supposedly the Type S is more refined too, with less road/engine noise.

    So the Type R doesn't have aircon? That doesn't sound right.

    i would choose the type R (albeit known as a RSX Type S) cos its got the looks for the part.. 147kW can be made to match the Type-S' 154 easily with some mods..

    Type S is far more comfortable.... the worst thing from R to S was the loss of recaros and LSD.... they changed the handling by lowering the car, added thicker sway bars and made the sussy softer and more comfortable....

    The type S is more comfortable, but more livable, since u own a prelude vtir already, id say you want comfort over raw power, the Type S has some compromises in performance but it'd definetly be my choice.

    You dont buy a integra for raw speed.

    why bother with the type S ??...the power difference is minimal @ the wheel add an aftermarket ecu and its a level field for all k20's.

    australia is more into luxury than performance..
    therefore honda australia brought out a luxury version of the much loved integra..
