Default dc5r suspension

is the stock height of the dc5r similar to the rsx type-s? Is the suspension almost the same or there many differences?

You just asked if the same suspension fits the same car.

DC5 R = RSX R

The DC5R has a stiffer suspension, but as for height they are the same. Type S gets a more luxury set up for suspension, but the DC5R gets a track tuned suspension that is a bit more rougher on the road.

If you are planning on purchasing the DC5R suspension set up, you might as well get the Tein Flex suspension for the type S. It cost a bit more, but it is fas more superior then stock suspension.

I don't think that is a correct statement. The DC5R sits lower stock than the RSX-S. Just take the new Mugen suspension for example. On King Motorsports site, they say that is lowers the RSX by 35mm. Well the same suspension here in Japan lowers the DC5R by only 15mm. That's a good size difference, more than 3/4".
