Mugen or Tein Basic Suspension Kit???

[raiyo]

Which would you pick? I can get the Tein Basic for $888.00 and Mugen for $150 more. I heard Mugen drops around 1.4", that's what I like. As for the Teins, I'll drop it around that height and never mess with it again.

Help me out.

you are in same boat as me.
i will just wait reviews on mugen . ( i wanna see drop on ep3)
i had tein ss on my last ride(2002 ex). VERY nice. you wont regret with tein basic .
PS. you dont like tein s tech anymore? ride sucks eh?

Don't worry guys, my review is coming up for sure this week. I'm just waiting for my uncle to have a free morning so we can slap these babies on

Question regarding the Mugen suspension kit- I know it is non adjustable and is only a 1.4 inch drop, but I was wondering if I was to get it could I put my Nuespeed race springs on it? I like my low drop and was just wondering if it would be too much stress on the Mugen struts. Also would the Nuespeed race springs have a stiffer spring rate than the Mugen ones? Just thought I'd ask. Thanks.

If your just going to settle for a 1.4" drop, I'd go for the Mugen.

It corrects the the bump steer by relocating the steering arm.

Also, it's just a little more "pimp"!;)



Does anyone know if the Mugen set needs camber correction?

Ummm...thats a good question actually. I suppose you could but Mugen designed this kit so the springs and shocks would work ideally with one another so....I'm not sure. If you are going to do this, $1K is A LOT for essentially just shocks (since you won't be using the springs) :o

The ride sucks because of the shocks, not due to the springs. If I was gonna use like 500-700 for shocks/labor, then I rather get a kit instead. Since it is factory tuned, it's much better than what I'm gonna mix-n-match.

I'm leaning more towards the Mugen set up.......

Does anyone have info on the Honda FP Suspension....
like does it fit the ep, drop, etc.

i agree with you. i went with tein ss on my last car(02 civic). i shoulve kept it damn it haha,
def worth every penny. go with full setup instead of springs. im leaning toward KW now.. we shall see.;)

you can fit tein ss for(em2) on ep3 with very minor modifications. someone posted on review section

[silver ep]

If I were you I'd consider the KWs.

[Si_Nutt]

Anyone actually have these on their ride yet? I am seriously considering these to replace my H&R Sport springs and blown stock shocks. Is the drop more like 1.75" or 1.4"? Any feed back would be cool.

[EP33]

Mugen is in some legal trouble they need all the business they can get. Besides, they make good shit.

[rswbrixton]

My Mugen set up is officially on order as of 20 minutes ago !!!


Neuspeed Race and blown oem shocks just aint cuttin it anymore.




Thank You A-J Racing and Mugen-Showa .
