how low is your car? is it slammed? dc5 isn't meant to be slammed. it negatively affects the handling of a car if you lower it too much.

is your ride too soft or too hard?

Ok so i looked it up and ya for an EP3 or DC5 you are looking at about 1600$ for a set... its a little steep compared to others such as BC but I would like to hear from what ppl have to say about them as they aren't very well known!

by what i have been exposed to for about hte same price i would go with kw variant ones they are well made suspencion but for street i find that the ride quality is acceptible for me idk :p jumping from an ek with koni yellows and megan sleaves it feels about the same in terms of stiffnes but if nice ride quality is what your looking for i guess shock and spring maybe tanabe and koni...
