there have been a lot of talk about the JDM sus set ups as having stiffer fronts. I was at the japanese site for the Integra One Make Race (DC5) series and this is what I saw in the suspension parts section:

front spring 14K
front spring 16K
front spring 18K

rear spring 26K
rear spring 28K
rear spring 30K
rear spring 32K

front sway bar 24mm
rear sway bar 24mm
rear sway bar 25mm

yshi - found it interesting how ALL the available springs are stiffer in the rear

Funny...I always see the japanese race setups with the FRONT being stiffer.

 

they must use the same size tires (F&R) on those kaas.

It's interesting how rather than exchanging the front and rear spring rates, they just make the rear stiffer than the front.

So instead of going from 18k/16k to 16k/18k, they go from 18k/16k to 18k/30k.

 

yaya, i just checked the r00lz and it specifies that everyone must use Yokohama 215/45R17 size tyres.

All of the approved parts are m00gen also

 

:drool:

Those DC-5's must be pretty heavy ...
Yoshi, what's the minimum weight for those?

 

lemme go take a l00k at the r00lz again - brb....

 

Thanks, my Japanese is ... not as good as yours!

 

juju

the r00z state the minimum as 1050kg

yshi - who'd like the let the metric impaired that 1050kg = 2315lbs
