help me pick a damper setup
i want to road race/drag sometimes, but mostly for daily driving.
i want a more agressive setup
i was looking at something like TEIN RA's, or zeal b6, or maybe a JIC FLT-A2 suspension. comments, first hand experience?
im running neuspeed/tokico illumina combo...but it just aint cuttin it

if youre going to be doing a multitude of different driving styles then youll want something with adjustable damping.
I road race, drag, and daily drive my EK and im running tein flex dampers and absolutely love them....but also, realize that a full race suspension setup can be dangerous for daily driving!!

yea i had cut springs and blown stock stuts. I would reccomend that setup to anyone any day!
I loved the way they give you that JDM bounce that tein's gives you if they are on the hardest setting.
to Tein Zeal Cusco.

suspension bounces when the shocks are too soft, not too stiff.
and we both know you've never had any of those brands so shut it

Re: help me pick a damper setup (JUN EK9)
I would go with whatever your budget allows you to.
I had the Tein HA setup in my civic hatch back before and I really loved it.
All of your suspension choices tein, zel or JIC will be good for what you need.
If i was in your position. I would get used set. Preferabbly the tein's since you can get them rebuiled in the USA. Other then that, all good choices.

Re: help me pick a damper setup (integlspwr2k)
well, since this post was moving kinda slow before, i did some research of my own, and based on what people say, and the actual specs of the dampers
i think im gonna choose the JIC magic FLT-A2
thanks for all the input tho
