I've got an '03 that is street driven only. I'm going to order either Mugen SS coilovers or Tokico D Spec shocks and use them with my Eibach sportline springs. I'm going to order by Wed. of this week, so I need your opinion NOW!

Keep in mind I'm looking for a comfortable ride- not a rigid bumpy ride.

I like the D Specs because of the good reputation here on the forum but am not crazy about the adjustment necessary with them to dial them in.

I like Mugen because of it's reputation here also, but am not sure of their ride quality?? I do like the fact that Mugen designed the steering arm on their coilovers to flatten out the tie rods on the EP rack when a car is lowered.

Price wise we're talking D Specs at $550.00 shipped and Mugan at $1200.00 shipped. Are the Mugen worth the extra money in the long run??

The 'performance' difference, if any, is negligible unless you are a seasoned veteran on the track IMO.

That being said, I'd go with D specs as long as they are a proven product for these cars.

Don't be a ric.. I mean JDM fan boy and pay more for less.

I'd go for the cheapest setup if is for a DD, so D specs.

mugen hands down is the better suspension, but the dspecs + springs isnt bad. since you wont be using the car for competition, go with whatever you comfortable with.

As far as overall better suspension, I'm not sure if one can make a clear answer.

For a DD, spend extra and get the Mugen.

i had full coilover with adjustable damper and i wasn't using it... now i'm on mugen ss and i love it. the spring and shock duo is made to work togeter while you could have trouble adjusting the d-spec damping to match your spring rate. but if you have a shock dyno you can use, go for the d-spec. if not, go for the mugen SS
