Eh, I wish they were a stiffer spring rate, but they are good for daily driving. I'll be dumping them as soon as I have the cash for a better coilover setup.

Honestly I have no clue...

I'm on HR's and I HATE them....

After all this holiday stuff they are going BYE BYE...

But I do remember hearing of those who likes the S-tech on their ITR's.

2 inches?? Mine is lowered about 3/4 inch on Mugen 5-ways and the top of the tire is about even with the fender.

What is the goal?

The Spoons have great springrates for the DC2, but they lower the car quite a bit.

Holy crap. I'm on S Tech's and I've got a little more than a finger width gap. I get a lot of compliments on the stance, and it does look very nice. My car is just low enough that the lip will just barely barely rub a curb if I pull up too far.

Re: What are the best LOWERING SPRINGS (totsie7944)

I am using Eibach sportlines with Koni yellows. Had to put the perches on the highest setting to solve rubbing issues with summer wheels. 205/50/15's on 15x7 works. It would rub at high speeds on corners, and couple turns on Nurburgring. Koni also makes and adjustable collar for the yellows.

The ride isn't to hard compared to stock with the 195/55/15's, and the struts on their softest setting.

Re: (totsie7944)

When In was considering springs I found that H&R and spoon progressive rates seemed to be the best. What are your goals with them?

Re: What are the best LOWERING SPRINGS (ITR 05082)

i got old school RS-Rs and my ITR stock shocks.

i dig it.. good for daily use.

Skunks are good too. i guess the main question is what are your plans for the R. everyone would be able to help a lot more.

These two would be my choice

My dream "reasonable price" sussy setup would be the TEIN N1 damper, or Mugen / Showa N1 damper with some Swift 12K f, and 14K r, springs
