Coilovers for the DC5 ride pretty stiff. I'd recomend staying with a good quality lowering spring like Tein, ST, or Eibach
Honda/Acura guy

even when they are adjustable? cuz i scared that when i go with springs and struts.. they are to soft and my wheel will rub.. any feed back?Originally posted by Deetz

how are tanabe suspension products? I know their good for their exhaust. But rarely hear any reviews about their suspension lines.
Im using a Mugen Sport Suspension setup for my DC5... they're non adjustable but I love them! It rides fairly stiff however... but alot of people say they ride close to stock (I kinda beg to differ) they lower the car only 1.5 inches too but handling is really improved.
The spring rates are: 5.0 kg/mm front and 8.2 kg/mm rear
Are you droping it to handle better or are you droping it cause it looks cool?
Mugen SS

yea it's about 1.5 inches for the front and rear... maybe a little less... 1.3 or 1.4... but it's around there.
