Default Mugen lowdown pics anyone

I have searched and found no info or pics really. I was just wondering if anyone has pics they could post of a Type-R with before and after shots with the Mugen lowdown setup. All input about this setup is more than welcome please.

I have some before and after pics of my ITR with the Mugen suspension, but I have to figure out how to post them on this board. If you can help out let me know.

Here it goes...








Some of the pics are not that great but this is what I have. The side pic autocrossing is when the car was brand new, just "broken in".

The pic with the CW ITR is also still with the stock suspension.

The rest of the pics are with the Mugen lowdown suspension with 26mm rear sway bar.

If I can find more pics I'll post them.

wow, i really like the look of the low-down, looks great, not to low, but gets rid of wheel gap, does the car still have oversteer tendancy's, or does it get more nuetrel than stock

The rims are Racing Heart C2 17x7.5 with 215/40 W10's. Street use only.
On the track stock wheels with Kuhmo V700 205/50/15

The suspension is GREAT.
I installed the suspension and rear 26mm sway bar a week before a track event in Homestead, FL. The ITR is flatter, does not "float" through the sweepers, and can enter into a turn faster and thus exit faster. The larger rear bar, NEEDS TO BE RESPECTED. If you unsettle the suspension at high speeds you're asking for trouble. If you thought the stock suspension rear rotation is easy, then this is TWICE as easy. I had to do an emergency manuver on the highway and it got hairy. Never lost contol but I could tell the rear would break loose at no problem. On the track and properly driven, no complaints, just a neutral handeling car. The shock settings are ones that I have been using for years auto-x and I found they work good for the track. It took me awhile to figure out this set-up with many test and tune days. They are 2-front and 5-rear. This setting will work wonders for any front drive car, stock springs or not.

The last driving event I went to was at Sebring, FL and rode along with a friend, the guy in the CW ITR. He has the stock suspension and I noticed the difference BIG TIME. Through the fast "S" turns I noticed the "lifting" I was taking about. The car felt unsettled. Later he drove in my car and the only difference between our cars is the suspension and he has a AEM CAI. And he noticed the improvement and taking the same "S" turn at full throttle. He is now considering doing the same!

i have the suspension as well. LOVE IT!

You can do a past search on my name and find my review of it.

I have the stock wheels on the car and it looks great.

Highly recommended.

RATEDR I was just wondering if you could post a link to your topic I did a search and couldn't find it. Also the pics of you car on your site are they all with the kit installed. Most looked stock height that is the reason I ask.
