Hello everyone, im new to this forum since this is my second honda car, its a 2005 dc5 type R, im not located in the USA but it is easier for me to buy parts from there than from japan, so here is my question, i was checking suspension and brakes on my car, and i need rotos, brake pads, strut/coilovers.
car came with oem struts on tein lower springs, but i really don't know why he cut the lower spring, so the car is very low and really shitty while driving. i already found the brake pads, nissan 350z fronts and rears are the same as the type s. the rotors are a different story, all measurements are identical except the height, so no luck there, saw a tein full coilover suspension but according to the web site it won't fit the type R. so can you please tell me if i can buy type S parts to put in my type R, or some vendors that sell jdm parts for dc5 type R. thanks very much.

 

if your in japan you need to go to a up garage
theyll have your springs for dirt cheap the stock ones and also the teins

you can also get springs from the civic si

 

why would you go from trash to a little bit better of trash? invest in a decent coilover setup, if that’s what you want, and quality parts. it’ll be worth it.

 

I bought the car with the oem struts and the tein lowers springs, but the previous owner cut the lowers even more i really dont know why, i just want to buy a set of tein full coilers but dont know if they will fit, if i buy the type S set.

 

Im not in Japan, i just mentioned that it would be cheaper for me to buy parts from a dealer form the US than from Japan. i have a set if lowers springs for a civic 2008 would they fit?

 

2005 & 2006 DC5 Type S strut assemblies will fit your Type R.
I have a 2006 DC5 Base and recently purchased Type R strut assemblies for front and rear.
Since you have a Type R, the Type S brake parts won’t fit, Type R brakes are Type R specific.
Best of luck finding parts.
