I'm thinking of getting the Mugen Lowdown suspension for my ITR...then using my stock ITR suspension on my EG hybrid.

Comments welcomed.

 

Sure, why not?

 

I guess...I don't know why not. That's why I asked what you guys thought.

 

Thats what I would do if I had an EG!

 

That's my plan too! Upgrade the ITR and put all the OEM ITR parts on a Civic EG or EK.

 

i did the same thing when i had my R
last hand me down was my stock R clutch

the R got an exedy and the EG got the R's

 

Do you like the ITR suspension on the EG? All I need is ITR LCA's right?

 

Yep, ITR LCAs are all that you need. The EG will sit a little higher in the back since it is a bit lighter, but if that doesn't bother you, then go have fun.

 

I love my Mugen Lowdowns.....as far as putting your stock r suspension on your hatch, why not?

 

YD -- I don't have, or have ever driven in a car with the low-downs, but I'm thinking you might want a step or two up from those.

What did Wes (white dragon) have to say about them ... he did have those and then moved on, didn't he?

P.S. save some money for the EXPO!

Yeah...why not?

 

do it, I think you will like it

 

Ed ~ don't worry...I'll still have $$ for the EXPO. I'm getting my bonus check in mid Feb, plus tax returns.

I actually DROVE White Dragon's Mugen ITR before with the Mugen Lowdowns. It did have adj A arms as well, but that thing HANDLED!!! I couldn't believe how much better it felt than stock ITR suspension. I was a bit suprised to say the least. Wes is now getting the Mugen N1's. They're a *little* out of my price range.

One more thing I need to address...I had brought this up before, but I'll bring it up again. King is selling the Mugen Lowdown for the EG (w/ITR LCA's needed it specifies) for $1000. The DC2R Mugen Lowdown goes for $1500. I really am unsure why I can't just use the EG suspension and save $500. Any thought on this?

 

The spring rate is probably different between the civic and the integra (it usually is on most coilover kits on the market....like the skunk2 integra kit has a 100# difference f+r compared to thier civic coilover kit.)...I agree that still doesn't make sense that there is a $500 difference. You could try to call King and ask them but I'm sure that they will want to sell you the more expensive product. Anyway Ive been really happy with my lowdowns...probably the best upgrade I've done to my r so far.
