You probably dont think comfort is that much of an issue but trust me, if you drive that car for more than 4 times a week, you will get headache on sydney roads.

how much do u reckon is the hypermax 2?
do u know the spring rates?
are they height adjustable as well?

did you find out how much?
and any info

I recommend, Tein SS. They have a spring rate of 6 and 9 and they are designed for street and occasional track for a resonable price. If you get the edfc, damper settings are easily adjustable in 2 sec from the drivers seat. Comfortable for street use, and good enough for track days.

Tein flex will be another good choice for u, i just using it, just feel a bit harder than stock one, but u know u owning a spt car, so its suspension should be harder than normal spec car

There is no point to get flex if you are not going to see track.....just a waste...

Don't need to waste money on EDFC if it is a DC5. You can just open the hatch and access the rear dampers. That money can go towards better tyres.

I had a friend driving a prelude and his car is much lower than mine, but his suspension is soft and feel more comfortable driving it.

I heard from some poeple as well that tein SS coilover is hard

I want to look for soft coilover.. what do you suggest?

your seats are harder

I had a look at my friends' DC5S with Tein SS and he is able to lower it to the point of barely being able to make it over speed bumps without scraping his b-pipe, AND theres still room to go a little bit lower. I think this is probably a good option for you; cheap + comfortable.

Also consider having an EDFC (because you will want to make the car uncomfortable/stiff when having a bit of fun) for in-car adjustability of the coilovers damper settings. Ask RDC5 for a price as I believe he's selling his EDFC.

Not much point since you still have to stop the car before changing settings (unless you want to damage the dampers). EDFC is more useful for cars like the Euro where you have to remove the rear seat bolsters to access the knob.
