    Mugen Suspension for US EP3 released

    http://www.kingmotorsports.com/product.asp?detail=1549

    Not much info there, and what is there is cryptic.

    If anyone can make sense out of those stats post the translation here, and any more details about adjustability, camber, etc, you can dig up.

    From what I can tell, they are about a 1 1/2" drop and non-adjustable. Not really that impressive to me, but then again I'm not into the whole Spoon or Mugen thing. I just like the best part for my application. I'd rather spend a little more and get an adjustable (height and dampening) coilover. They do look like a very nice unit.

    yea you can get their basic setup for around 1k;) would be a great setup for that price. i guess these springs aren't as nice after all, not being adjustable.:(

    I kinda like the idea that its pre-set. Similar to the H&R Cup-Kit...set it and forget it ;)
    I don't need more than an 1.5" drop so this might be the best route for me to go...

    With a 1.75" drop you WILL need some camber correction - it WILL be out of tolerance. Also, -35mm comes to about -1.4" by my ruler.

    that's what I thought so but here is what exactly their e mail said:
    "This kit will lower your car 35mm. There is no need for a camber kit when using the Mugen suspension kit. It is a direct bolt in."

    also forgotto add, 35 mm equals to 1.3779 inches, maybe the springs settle and get low as 1.75 later?

    In my distorted mind this is fairly obvious. The design would have the camber correction built into it... think about it... the drop is set, the camber is too. (well, more or less... you have tire sizes/rim widths to worry about) ... but mostly you wouldnt have problems at a mere 1.75" when the suspension was built for that drop ... kinda like if you DONT DROP your car but you change your rims and wheels you dont really need a camber kit.

    Make sense?
