Looking for quality coils... but I have heard its hell tryin to get these cars on the ground. tia

 

Tein's are probably the most popular. More specifically the SS-P. Though I would recommend the FLEX or omni flex if you have the money.

jesus i have great control of the car great for backroads/autocrossing

 

Assuming that you want that ****** dumped like a ****, I've heard that the H+R UltraLows will slam that thing to the ground. Not sure if they are available for DC5's, though.

 

something will dual perch adjustment

 

I assume your lowering for looks and not handling, correct? If you run the car too low, it's gonna handle like crap and you'll have virtually zero wheeltravel.

That's just the way it is with the DC5 strut suspension.

 

cut your springs, that's leet.

I have the TEIN ss, they are great. There are many many options out there for you, HKS, JIC, Skunk2, TEIN... just find a set you like and go with it.

 

if you want to dump it go with Buddy clubs or JIC's

JICs

 

nice....

 

can you dump an rsx on tein flex?

 

bc or get some good old GC with dead shocks...

 

bout how much do they run(price) each?

so no? i know you can go lower, i was tuckin 17's when i had flex.
i switched from flex's to buddy club's racing spec damper so i could go lower.

 

actually thats as low as they go...weird isnt it?...well in person it looks a bit lower, i just had the camber redone as well

 

that is weird. it looks fine though, dont trip

i guess i'll go with some buddy clubs then. i wanna get as low as i did with my old dc2. I'm a dc5 noob so im trying to find out as much as I can about them

 

I'll stress again, while a slammed DC5 may look cool, it will handle like crap.

Just because Buddyclubs will allow you to go ultra low doesn't mean that you should.

But it's your car.

todd- i know its detrimental to handling, but its not like im michael shumaker ont he streets. when i do track, i raise it up substantially.

however, it doesnt handle like crap. it still handles fine, but would handle better if it were raised up a bit. slammed on both flex's and rsd's, it handles just fine for hte streets, still FAR better than stock

Yeah, that's a plan...but with the DC5 anytime you even breathe on the rideheight you drastically alter alignment. It's a PITA.

Pretty much anything handles better than stock, but the good coilovers on the market lose a lot when you run them too low. I did the testing and its pretty significant.

 

when it came to dumping the **** out of my dc5 it was like hitting a brick wall, i went from tein ss, to tein flex, to ground control with koni yellows.

to slam the **** out of it the koni/ground control did the job, but rode like hell. there is just a point in the car where it does not want to go any lower. it rubs in every place emaginable. i tried different sets of wheels different offsets. nothing helped.

tein ss or flex give the best ride for the dump from what i have tried.

there is also buddy club and a couple other sick suspension company's who have a good set up going.

in a straight line the car would ride fine no matter how dumped. the second i turned the wheel or hit a bump of any kind it would rub everywhere.

it's not worth it.
