King motorsports is generous if you work for a Honda/Acura dealer...At least he told me when I called. Something about 10% off retail.

If you want any sort of adjustability, go with
the Teins, as Mugens are non-adjustable.
However, I think most people just "set it and
forget it" and for that, the Mugens are a great
choice. I've yet to read of even the slightest
complaint about that suspension set up from
someone who has it on their car.

I'd definitely go with the Mugen Suspension. Already setup for the DC5 and it has Showa components.

Thanks Mike, I am leaning that way. The Mugen susp kit for the DC5 is only offered in North America, and was designed for the USDM DC5.
