muahaha!
can you be kind enough to describe the awesomeness of vtec's sound engaged twice???eh . i remember when i was using my civic EF with B16A, my vtec kicked in twice. 1st at 5200rpm (standard point) then the next one at 7000rpm. the sound was super awesome! but happened only once la. Tried again but it didnt happened after dat..and until I sold the car. hahah
DC5 stock suspensions are indeed stiff. I've driven STIs & EVOs running on adjustables, and the stiffness is about the same. And when you lower the car, there goes the geometry setup. All lari..i dont know what kind of sex you guys are having....but...its definitely NOT better than the orgasms i have.
dont scare people la... stock suspension is not THATTTTT stiff.... bearable if you just keep in mind that you're driving a proper sports car.
also...its 6200 rpm la...mana ada 6k....
thats why you're not supposed to lower a DC5R.DC5 stock suspensions are indeed stiff. I've driven STIs & EVOs running on adjustables, and the stiffness is about the same. And when you lower the car, there goes the geometry setup. All lari..
But then again, to each its own la. Some say stiff, some say not. To the one buying, test drive and feel it yourself.
but i met tsuchiya last year in spoon pit during MME and he said tein is one of the best replacement for stock shocks.. how? boulala can clarify coz he was with me dat time . . hehehe.thats why you're not supposed to lower a DC5R.
even the boss of SPOON Racing and Tsuchiya (Drift King) says so.... you'll mess up the geometry settings and the car might even perform WORSE than stock.
he must have lied to youbut i met tsuchiya last year in spoon pit during MME and he said tein is one of the best replacement for stock shocks.. how? boulala can clarify coz he was with me dat time . . hehehe.
We have seen this long time ago. But I disagree on what he said. It's all up to the individual to believe what's best for their car. For me Tein works best, albeit its roughness for daily drive. I'm a loyalist to tein since 8 years ago coz the shocks will always put a smile on my face :)
spoon might not get it right.. but bear in mind TEIN is a suspension company and entirely focused on creating ranges of suspension to suit the demand of any driving condition. Spoon on the other hand focus more on racing development of entire car, not just suspension. By the way Spoon does not produce it's own suspension. It is produced by Showa. The same with it's monoblock calipers. It is made by Nissin but rebranded to their liking.
If you get my point lah.. but nevertheless, I have nothing against stock shocks. It rocks. But the height is the only lowdown. You also should know that DC5 MacPherson layout is a bitch to tune. Not just to Spoon. But to all owners and tuners. But a lot of people (I'm being domestic by referring to few DC5 friends of mine here in Malaysia) have succeeded to get the perfect setup. A little sacrifice on your wallet is needed to buy RCA, shorter tie rods and numerous alignments needs to be done to make it sweet to go to pasar malam and weekend track days.
Friday nite, party woiii!
the thing is...i've rode in countless coilover setups...and ive yet to find anything that even comes close to being called "COMFORTABLE"... thats why i'm so skeptical about it... i'm too old to go "horseback riding" everyday...S-tech springs are a good tool to make the car go lower without sacrificing the handling too much. I'd say its a go! If you have extra dough, go for full adjustables. Like Titan or GAB.
that is why they created Roll Centre Adjuster for the DC5..the thing is...i've rode in countless coilover setups...and ive yet to find anything that even comes close to being called "COMFORTABLE"... thats why i'm so skeptical about it... i'm too old to go "horseback riding" everyday...
ive heard s-techs are what most people use for their DC5s, but i've yet to ride in one yet.
however, lowering the car would lead to shorter lifespan for suspension parts such as lower & upper arms...which cost a bomb!!
