New Suspension for DC2 - Track/Street

Locust2000 · 27th July 2006, 10:35 PM

I've got a 93 DC2 Turbo that's my weekend driver/trackday special. I put some new D2's in it about 3000-5000km ago, but am getting the bounce feel that they're known for. I'm looking to swap them out for something better. This time i'm not on the same strict budget that made me choose them in the first place as the whole level of the car has been improved since then. I'm looking for awesome handling without sacraficing comfort, which I know can be achieved if I dont look around the D2 end of the market. Please post opinions ONLY IF YOU HAVE USED THE SUSPENSION YOU ARE SUGGESTING. I'm not expecting it to be cheap, although i'm not against a good deal, but i'm after performance + comfort ahead of cost as a priority, this is a project car I'm hanging onto and dont ever intend on selling so want to do it right.

As a side note, i'm wondering if I should put the D2's in my EG6, or sell them? The EG6 is currently on 30mm lower springs and is fine, i'm just wondering if they're worth selling otherwise i'll put in the civic since I have them anyway. It's the daily driver and am not looking to sack it out or anything, just seems a waste to leave them sitting n the garage unused.

I currently have Koni Yellow and Neuspeed race springs.

Its an awsome - versatile setup for around town and racing - however if you were going to be doing more drag then track I would suggest not....

I have also ridden in many cars with Tein suspension - and although firm it is very very very good and the cars handle better then mine which I think handles pretty good anyways....

Lastly - Bilstein...Anything Bilstein is awsome, period

Give me a call at work and I can put together some prices for you

Im Running A Blistien Adjustable Shock with a Nuespeed Race spring. Was kindly provided by Adam & the team at FBI. Was an actual package which was sold by one of the manufactures.

Love the setup, absolutly perfect for the track/street
