Default damper status for 05 dc5's?

correct me if i'm wrong but are dampers kits for the 05's built different from the 02-04's?

i also heard that the kits may fit... but you definitely cannot use the springs that came with the dampers. is this true as well?

yeah, i heard if u want a full damper kit for an 05, it has to be specifically built to 05 spec.

just dont wanna take shortcuts like 70% of h-t and just throw lowering springs on the car.

there was an article on honda tuning that said that the 05's have springs that are wound clock and counter clockwise just like older porsches used to have.

04 fits 05 stuff as long as it's a full replacement. I believe if you want lowering springs they you can't use 02-04. good luck finding MF10s by the way.

Werd...Go pick up this months Honda Tuning.

the 02-04 kits fit the 05, so if Tein, etc do the inversley wound spring thing for the 05 kits the i think it would be a good upgrade for the 02-04. that is, if the 05 suspension is even better
