I ordered the suspension kit for my type s from king motor sports 2day
is it worth the $1k or should i cancell the order
does ne1 have it on their DC5
i know its supposed to handle real good but how's the ride compared to stock

 

I have it on my EP, and installed it on a couple DC5's. No complaints!!

Never knew they had a system out for our cars, what are the specs and information on them?

 

Check Kings web site at http://www.kingmotorsports.com They have all the info on the suspension kits for the dc5 on their site. Add a 25mm rear sway bar with that kit and the car is a hoot to drive. Makes it handle totally different and the ride is still good.

 

I drove Victor's EP the other day, and it was awesome. if I could just convince my wife, I'd have it on my car now. solid sus

i was thinking about getting the Tein SS and then this set up came up. which one has better ride comfort?

DITTO!

 

in tems of performance, which is better.. tein or mugen?

 

theyr both good i hear
but the mugen one is specifically designed for the DC5
and u dont have to mess around wit the adjustability and ****
i went with the mugen for that reason and i'v heard nothin but good
things about the mugen

 

how much does this set up lower the car ?

 

for a daily driver which may see some auto x and track which is preferred the flex or the mugen

Well just keep in mind that the Mugen suspension is none adjustable, so the setting you have with the Mugen you will have to use on all tracks.
With the Flex you can adjust ride height, damping. So different setting for different tracks. Both are good, but the Tein Flex has more options with it.
Maybe that is why the Mugen is not as expensive as the Flex.
Well good luck bro.

 

good info thanx

 

What do you all think about the KW V2 setup? Similar to the SS, but they make a upper mount replacement for it. Stiffer than the SS, but not as stiff as the Flex. Stainless steel as well... Just wondering what the consensus on those were. I have them and like them alot, but I don't have any experience with any of the others...

I have the Mugen Sport Suspension on my EP3.

It does handle well, and is a streetable but very clear improvement over stock.

A no brainer, in my opinion, if you don't want to fool with adjustments and you want to rely on a solid company's research and testing.

This assumes that you are an enthusiastic street driver who might occasionally track the car.

If you're talking about ultimate handling on a mostly tracked vehicle, you will want something else, IMHO.

 

how well do u think it would perform on a type s in your opinion

 

the same way it will on an EP. I did a set on a RSX and the owner loved them!

-Victor

 

are u guys talking about the Mugen Lowdowns?

Very well put. The Mugen Sport Suspension is fine for a daily driver. It's a bit over priced for a cup kit, but then again it is Mugen so you can expect to pay more. I'm certain the quality is top notch, as most people who have the kit say it is. If you plan to track your car, you'd probably want something more aggressive in its valving, adjustable, and lighter. I've actually contemplated getting this suspension but am not quite sure that I wouldn't be happier with a full coilover system for a few hundred more--JIC-FLT-A2 can be had for around $1600 (it's only money right?).

 

Where can I get Mugen suspension?

JP

 

I'm sure aj-r or ips..

 

you can order it from kingmotorsports.com ---

I just had them put on today -- they feel great but I had the old suspension in the hatch and it was snowing --- so I couldnt really test it out ...

 

JP, Do you have an EP or a RSX?

-Victor

 

How much does it weigh compared to the Stock suspension?

 

I have '03 si
