I ordered the Mugen Lowdown, it should be here in 2-3 weeks. I heard good things about it.

I think the average price for a GOOD suspension is over $1,200. If you don't spend at least that much, you're probably not improving the handling of the car.

Zeal suspension with the new Swift springs. Adjustment is a breeze (both height and spring rate). It's also 6 way damping adjustable. I can have the shop who sold me the set hook you up with an amazing price. Go check with others then check back with me. I can beat your price guarantee.

But seriously though, I love my Function B6. The stock suspension is great but it still gives too much body roll when you take a high speed or sharp turn. I was able to take a turn under a airport tunnel going 100mph with stock suspension but I will feel the need not to push it anymore but with the Zeal, I was doing 120 and still have room for more. Couldn't push it anymore because I'm merging traffic soon.

Mugen lowdowns are great, but for $200~$300 more, you can get the Zeal coilover and they come in this beautiful silver chrome casing. And they come assembled for a drop in application.

ZEAL's B2 or B6 will be one of your option and you can always come talk to me in person since we are very close to each other. Mugen low downs is mainly design for sports drive the Zeal's B6 is mainly design for high performance driving (lapping days) or hard core street racer.

Email me privately if you need any information on them.

Me and my friend just installed the TEIN HA coilovers this past Sat., so far I'm pleased, but I've yet to test them on the track, that'll be soon.

You should get the car alighned and corner weighted (which was suggested to me by a dear friend).. You will see even more improvement in handling.

i totally agree. the stock itr suspension is really good. you need to spend some $$$ to get a suspension that is better handling. but you will give up what little comfort the stockers have also. i spent over $2,000 on springs/shocks/pillow ***** (Racing Gear), and now it is a stiffer and a little lower.
