jason_law · 31st May 2007, 05:33 PM

hi,

i'm looking for some cheap upgrade for my dc2 suspension.......i;m currenly lower by tanabe spring+standard shock....

i want to upgrade my shock absorber..i have 2 shock in my mind...
2nd hand itr (around $200 2nd hand)
or kyb excel-g (the basic black tube), around $600 brand new

anyone have experience about those 2 compare to standard dc2 one?
and which one is better??

thx

not sure sorry

but mithere has ITR stuff for sale, prolly get nice and cheap

Jase - check out the spring rates and what not of the SiR vs 98 ITR vs KYB!

98 ITR suspension will be way better than your standard stuff, can't say for the KYB - honestly, not just trying to sell you

I would go 98 ITR for the budget upgrade, unless you need something more serious

ok...finally, i take a set of itr suspension from my found...

i was told that itr spring with shock is good for handling already...

but now i m using tanabe lowering spring...

should i swap the tanabe spring over my new set up or just use itr spring..

thx
