Default My friend wants to trade suspensions...

Ok my friend has a 97 JDM Integra Type R 4x114.3 suspension set up with 97 jdm Type R wheels and he wants to trade me straight up for my 99 civic si suspension.

Now I have a few questions, would I still be able to use my world sport dampeners that are going to be on the car?

Any one think I should trade? Give me pros and cons!

thanks in advance!

i'm confused are you trading suspensions as in shocks and springs or are you trading brake set ups?

everything will work out. you keep your suspension and rear LCA's and it will be all gravy. Just swap out the brakes.
