Default Struggling with what suspension set up to go with...

I can't decide what suspension set up to go with for my 2002 type S... I've looked hard at the Zeal V6's, the Buddy Club racing spec, and the Mugen sport suspension (totally different from the other two, i know). I drive primarily on the street with the occassional HPDE/trackday. Thanks in advance for your .02

-Matt

you can't really go wrong with Zeal or BC or if you want just a basic damper and spring setup...it all depends on how much you wanna spend

Spoon Springs or kg/mm paired with Koni adjustable dampers would be a good setup...I was going to go with that since my Tokico Illuminas busted but I'm such a hardcore ricer that I'm going with BCRS

if you plan to track it and street drive it get the Tein Type Flex. I have installed them on a EG6 and they work pretty well.

it got mugen ss on my 02 types and i like it, the drop isnt drastic but if u plan on puttin 17's on then it'll look really sweet. the handling is incerdible, no body roll at all, i would say deff dont go with nething where u mix and match springs and shocks

Alot of peeps do not know that it does work, but yes it does work with the RSX. I also thought it only worked with the flex, but it works with the ss as well.
