Default Drag Coefficient

What are the drag coeffiecient numbers for LS/GSR/Type R?
I know the Type R has a lower drag, why is that?

What can a LS/GSR do to lower its drag?

TypeR coeffiecient of drag is 0.32 and others are .33.

"To achieve maximum aerodynamic efficiency, the Type R also includes a new chin spoiler and a new wing-type rear spoiler, and the vehicle is 15 mm lower in overall height than the Integra GS-R. These contribute to a 30 percent reduction in the coefficient of lift over the Integra GS-R. and a 1 percent improvement in its drag coefficient. "

The CD for the pre-98 tegs should be .34 (partially due to the old headlight and bumper design).
