Hey guys I just recently purchased a 2000 ITR that has a salvage title not sure what number it is because the interior got stolen. It rides on stock suspension right now but I am thinking about upgrading it. I am going to be daily driving the thing and cannot afford to spend 1500 for suspensions stuff. Anyone have ideas or some setups that they use and like. Thanks ahead of time for the help

You are aware that HT has a dedicated suspension section.....right?

 

Why do you want to upgrade the suspension?

 

With a 1500 dollar budget I would leave it stock. Spend the 1500 and redo all the OEM bushings, end links etc etc. With a car that is a stolen recovery you have no idea of what any thing is in. Take that cash and give it a tune up. AND find your badge.


OR you can get Tein Basics and omni camber kits. Your choice.

 

Excellent question. Often overlooked, the factory suspension is quite fantastic for daily driving and track use.


I agree with the first section. Refreshing the bushings, endlinks, and other suspension bits can be an excellent way to refreshen the car to its original performance. The Tein Basics have a harsh ride and wouldn't suit DD purposes IMO. A camber kit generally isn't needed.

 

thanks for the help guys and I will check out the suspension section as well man. i have gone through the car somewhat thoroughly and looks like most of the bushings are in very good shape.

 

LOL. Yeah, the last part was me being sarcastic. Every honda fan ricer boy has tein basics and ebay camber kits lol.

 

alright guys guess it was a stupid question was just thinking about lowering the ride height a little bit and going to go back through and look over the bushings again but it looks like the were replaced with new ones not too long ago they all look like they are in decent shape. and there was a camber kit on the car when i bought it which i am probably going to pull off because i have no idea what it is plus i am at stock ride height right now

 

1500 will get you koni/gc coilovers, all new bushings, new brake lines and all new pads along with a tune up.

whole debate is on what spring rates you want to run

500/450 is one of my favs if you drive on a sticky street tire

for the tune up use an oem cap and rotor, ngk blue wires and hks m35i spark plugs. expensive plugs but the burn is outstanding in a stock R. ngk produces them and they are, based on what i've seen in the burn, better than a standard irridium
