Default Mugen Low Down Kit - Good/Bad - Waste of Money?

I am considering lowering my 00ITR. I have two sus. units in mind, Mugen Low Downs from KingMotorSports or the Zeal B2 kit from AJ-Racing. I do not want to lower the car more then a 1', therefore I like the Mugen kit, no fuss about height only ride quality. However, I am wonder if the Mugen kit is over priced, which most Mugen components are.

I like the Zeal kit, because ae far as i can tell it is top quality construction, however so is the Mugen kit.

Has anyone had experience with these two kits, if so are they Good/Bad?

Thanks for any help offered.

Having owned the Mugen Lowdown suspension package, and using it for both street and track use. I would have to say that it is one of the best street/track packages you can buy. Yes, Mugen is expensive but you get what you pay for.

Lowdown is Nice but the Zeal B2 is a little better in the fact that you can adjust the height, If you dont want to go lower than 1" just set it to what you like

I HIGHLY recommend the Mugen Lowdown suspension. I don't know about you guys (at least the majority of you guys) but once my suspension height is set I leave it at that height. Height adjustability is great but how often do most people use it?

The Mugen Lowdown suspension was designed specifically for our ITRs. It handles great and the ride is great too. I would definitley purchase another set if I bought another ITR.

Dave, there is a Sunriders event this Saturday at SPJC in the evening. I may be able to attend. Let me know if you are interested.
