With the unadjustable damper, naturally the experience will be different to a lighter car. You can’t compare the two.

Unless you’ve experienced the basics in a DC5, you are not in any position to form an opinion.

It’s not about invincibility; It’s about running matching springs and shocks, from the manufacturer.

Buying springs and shock kits is fine, if you’re going to run them together. Ideally we’d like to pick up a kit, which would give us the drop we’d want and the ride quality we craved.

Realistically it’s never going to happen (In the case of DC5, and humans). Problems start to arise when people start mixing and matching springs and shocks, in order to achieve that perfect balance.

That’s when you start, seeing aftermarket shocks, blowing in some cases.

Don't get me wrong, a spring and a shock setup can be a killer combination, if you know what your doing, sadly not many of us do.
All I'm trying to do is offer a different point of view on a discussion and you tell me that I am not allowed to.
Yes you would think that heavier cars require higher spring rates but in most cases the Tein suspensions for Hondas have higher spring rates than for larger cars, a commodore for example.
When I mentioned a spring shock combo, a kit was what I was referring to.
I think a progressive spring would be a lot better for this application, but since my opinion isn't wanted here good luck with your Tein Basic Coilover set up DC5-4ME.
