This group has had over 240,000 posts since it was created. One or two of those posts might have discussed this topic.

In other words, search.

If you have any specific questions after that you will get lots of help here.

 

whats the difference between the apex-i n1 and the apex-i world sport?

 

n-1 ride adjustable as well as height obviously.
world series just height adjustable.

and price is a big difference

 

Were can I find the difference in proformance between suspension kits? are there any track test? There are many companys which make suspension kits that claim to increase proformace, at all different prices. How can i tell which kits will really give me a better proformace. I'm looking for something durable. The type r suspension is pretty nice and dont want to loose proformace? as you can probly tell i need help...thanks guys

 

talk to ben or alan from a&j. i think their sn on here is AJR PWR or something

 

I think the type of suspension kit you chose is largely dependent on what kind of environment your Type-R will see.

Do you autoX? If so...what class? Are there any limitations? Do you mostly do circuit/lapping days? Do you just drive your car on the street but think it's kinda ugly with the wheel gap?

What do you do with the car? What is your budget.....these kind of questions, need to be asked before you can properly choose the right damper for your particularly application.

I certainly wouldn't recommend an Apex-i N1 damper for somebody who is doing DSP since it'll push them into CSP etc.....

Well there are plenty of companies that make suspensions for the ITR. Mugen, Tein, Zeal, Apexi to name a few.

What are you looking to do with your R? Auto-cross it? Track it? Drag race or just daily driving? You can do a search for those companies I named and lots of reviews from people here will show up what we thought about each kit.

I personally run the Mugen lowdown and love it. Works perfectly for a daily driven, auto-crossing, and some track daying Type R...Not too bad on the pocket either .

 

i do not race my car, although i do drive my car very very very hard..... i drive my car on the street. a little lower would be better but its not really a concern. im looking for more proformance in hi-speed cornering.

 

RATEDR....great web page :0 )

 

wow, im glad im not in Fl..

 

All I have to say about that is...

-Dave, who can't wait to read the post "My tires just wrecked my teg" posted by slowassR.

 

I'm in FL But there are morons like this everywhere

 

it's sad. Inexperience driver with modded suspension driving very very very hard on the streets..oh my

 

im guessing that was not the best thing to say .... ..maybe its just not the best thing to do ...thanks for the tip

 

take it to the auto-x or track.

 

i live in jacksonville fl.....any near by?? it is a very rural area..... the back roads here are amaxing ...no poles ..lots of grass ..hehe which i have found my self in several time , wich is one of the reason i am looking to improve my suspension.....

 

eh, your suspension isnt the reason why youre ending up in the "grass", it's the driver.

yes, that is for sure ...but im learning

 

It is important to know your limit's

 

sadly, the stock suspension offered is not exactly what i need. Improving it would greatly aid my endeavor.

 

Just remember Dave, once Tammy and I get back to FL, j00 can add two more to the list

I agree though, public roads are NOT the place to learn to to drive. I can't stress that enough...TAKE IT TO THE TRACK!!!

the way i see it , not everyone has $250 to spend on track events every month..if you see a safe road and you wanna test your skills go for it, how else are you gonna learn...learning to drive a type-r at its limits will make you a really good driver.
