Default I know its a crime to touch the DC2R suspension but...

it would be nice to lower it a bit!

Im so picky at touching the Type Rs suspension because it so perfect, and it feels amazing, so what is the best ways to lower it just maybe 1-1.5"? Which springs or coilovers do you suggest to maintain the golden handling, balance and similar ride comfort?

thanks!

What is your budget?



It is a type R, you need to do it right. My friend has 98, and he will most likely be going Koni/GC.

about $800! How do you think Koni Yellows with Eibach sportline or pro springs will suit?

800 is exactly what koni/gc costs. what tires are you driving on and what matters more to you?

ride comfort or transition speed ?

haven't seen those in the states yet. are they a hard sport tire similar to the yokohama s drive? utqg of 300 or so?

if that's the case 400/350 would be good rates to run.

if driving hard and sticker tires are in your future, something like yoke ad08's, kumho xs, star specs or re11's you could go 500/450
