I'm trying to drop thing thing as soon as possible but i dont know what to buy..What's a pretty good set up for a good price?

For daily driving, you can't go wrong with Mugen Sport Suspension. You can get feedback on these from others and everyone has been real happy with them.

Yeah, thing thing's my daily driver. Where can i get these and how much do they cost? Would you know if installed if it'd void warranty or not?

When somebody starts a conversation saying he's after dropping the car, I am not sure the Mugen SS is what he's after.

There's <u>one</u> position for the Mugen SS. It does drop the car, but the drop is what Mugen wants it to be, and it's a visible and enitrely reasonable drop, but it's also completely unadjustable.

If "drop" is really what you're after, you can find other ways to do it.

If you want a decent, plug-in no-brainer suspension that affords a decent increase in handling performance, then the Mugen SS is surely a good choice.

The user who replied to your post (97 Type-R 312) sells them, as do many other dealers here at Honda-Tech. They retail for $1050 at the distributor's site.

If you have a problem later that is related to anything the coilover suspension touches (wheels, alignment, brakes) then the warranty is voided. The Mugen SS is designed by a Honda cooperative organisation that's intimately acquainted with Honda/Acura designs, and has several avenues for inside information related to a car's design.

I really don't think you'll have a problem if that's the way you want to go.

 

I have the Mugens on my '04 and with the stock wheels, the drop was just perfect. On an '02-'03 since they come with 15's stock, it doesn't make the drop look more dramatic, but if you're going with larger wheels in the future, you'll be ok. Other than that, there are several brands to choose from depending on what you're going after.

 

for a good drop buy my springs!

Cheap way: H&R Sport springs on stock shocks
Better way: Mugen SS kit
Expensive way: $2000+ Coilover kits.

Just depends what you are looking for.

 

New option now. Moderate but still a little cheap.

Lowering springs+Koni shocks (front inserts, replacement rear) or lowering springs+full replacement Tokico shocks (450.00). For the Tokico shocks, I've read that they are good up to a 2" drop.

 

I'm not trying to spend a huge amount of money into the suspension like +$1000.. I dont race much so all i pretty much need it for is for looks.. and some handling. I'm looking for a pretty cheap way to do it without sacrificing ride comfort.. I want something good but not too costly. I've heard good stuff about ground control adjustables but i dont really know if its true. I'm new into this.. Any info helps

Angelo.

 

stay away from "sleeve over" type suspension. You will blow out your stock shocks real quick. If your going to do suspension, do it right. $1000 is the average ballpark.

tein basics are good. they run from 700-900 dollars.

 

suspension will help your handling a lot but newer tires will be a good benefactor for "good" handling also -- do them both and your car should be very nice in the twisties. The stock michelins suck.
