Hey, I recently traded my old 97' DC4 RS for this 01 DC4 GS.

I know that the ITR spoiler or wingless have been discussed numerous times but I wanted to know what you guys feel about the ITR spoiler on my car. I've always liked it and it's just a matter of time before I go with it.

Suspension wise, what do you guys recommend me going with right now? Hopefully something under the $1200 cdn range for the coilovers, something that is both dampering and height adjustable, something that is good for street and hard spirited drives. (Track maybe few times a year? Not much)

Here's some coilovers/suspension I have in mind.
Skunk2 (Pro C or Pro S) - Please describe the differences
Tein Superstreet
Custom Ground Control

Also, anyone have any recommendation on shortshifters? I was thinking about getting the Skunk2 dual-bend.

Let me know what you guys think.

It is your car. Make your own decision.

I have Koni yellows with the Koni springs. Many people like these shocks with Ground Control coil overs.

Skip the short shifter. Waste of money IMO.

Thanks,

Other then coilovers, what's another good way to tighten up the suspension/decrease body roll?

And how much US did Koni Yellows & Koni springs cost you?

I think I paid about $600 US for the shock and spring package. Just about any sport springs will reduce body roll.
