They will prematurely wear the stock shocks. And if the R is still on original stock shocks with average mileage this may happen sooner than later resulting in poorer ride and performance.

They are not an improvment where performance is concerned, they'll be more a "style" and "looks" mod.

 

keep those springs on the gsr, please

 

Ok, thanks guys.... I am planning to start autocross in the next couple of months...... so with that in mind, i will sell the neuspeeds.... recomendations for springs then?? shocks will soon follow so not to worry.... thanks

How modded is the car your getting? And how many miles?


If it's stock, leave it that way for at least your first few Autocrosses.


You don't need to do Anything immediately to an ITR to be competitive with it for autocross.

 

I won't tell you what to do but I'd leave the stock suspension alone for at least one full autocross season. I've done almost two seasons on two seperate ITRs and I'm still "learning" to drop times with my car classed as D Stock.

The first ITR I acquired had Neuspeed race springs and stock shocks (what was left of them). The ride was miserable and bottoming out was not uncommon. I had to replace the stock shocks with Bilsteins and the ride became really nice (i.e. stiff and predictable).

If you are going to have to cure an insatiable itch to spend money on your new toy, buy Koni Yellows and leave the stock springs. SCCA stock rules allow shock modifications but springs must remain stock.

Good luck racing and don't forget, everyone gets their *** kicked on thier first autocross!

 

Awesome.... good to know.... ill leave it stock for a while. The car is bone stock now and has 53k miles. I want the J's intake so bad, its soo purty..... thats cool that u can have shock mods and b considered stock, thanks for the info. any other good tips i should know of?? besides being able to take some losses, lol

please dont put 18's and a body kit and shaved handles and all kinds of rice on this car, like your GSR

with that said

good luck with autocross

hold off on your springs and shocks, run it stock, the stock suspension rules

if you decide that you want to change it, let me know, i will be selling Bilstein shocks and H&R sport springs soon

but anyway, keep the R safe and clean (no rice)

 

Haha... no worries.... no rice on the R. i jus want bada$$ suspension and alot of motor work... after all the years w/ the gsr, i now hate body kits and fiberglass parts. eventually i wanna get the volk te37s for daily driving, i love those rims... but ill stick w/ stock for now....... so u say the falkens are good tires?? ive been meaning to ask about tires
