Mugen or Tein Basic Suspension Kit???

[YooShin]

How much of a drop would you get with the Basics? I'm want a reasonably priced coilover set that will give me a solid 2-2.25" drop.

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




Thank You A-J Racing and Mugen-Showa .

How much did you buy and what is the ETA on the product for you from A&J. Thanks.

I'm paying 1375 plus GST shipped to my office . I expect to see them in 6 weeks or sooner . Stock has to arrive from overseas to Vancouver,B.C. then through A-J Racing to me .

By personal experience I would have to recommend the Mugens. Great set up with a decent drop and superb ride. Plus I like the fact that it was designed specifically for the EP3, not all 01+ Civics.

Why are there so many more votes for Mugen? Are Tein Basics bad? I was considering these...

This thread was posted when the Mugens just came out and there was a lot of excitement for them. Now I think you'd get different results. Get the Basics.

Basics all the way baby....

[Whiteboy]

Wellll good....Less money and adjustable. I'll be getting these next!

Mugen.


Go over to honda tech and search / ask some of those cats how they LOVE their mugens.

Guys are talking about how the suspension is perfect for our Sis and how it can go into a 4 corner drift with ease etc etc. sounds like a dream to me.

Edit:

I also feel you will get better OEM ride and staying power over shocks you can adjust the spring heights on. My friend has a set of konis that are all but blown because of tweaking the coils for 30,000 miles.

+ i feel 1.4 inchs is plenty of drop for our cars, unless your in east la.

My Tein Basics are very nice and ride a little stiffer than the OEM setup and much better than my Progress springs with stock shocks/struts. Also, having coilover height adjustment is a plus for AutoX and the like.

ShowstoppersUSA (tell Chuck I sent you) :)

[the JigGa mAn]

can you get adjustable tein shocks and the mugen springs?

[digitldlnkwnt]

im saving for
spc camber kit
KW camber plates
KW v2 suspension...

for the money the materials and build quality can't be beat.
no one else useses stainless steel.

but i wonder how much, if at all heavier they are than stock springs and shocks.

I guess its possible, but why? The Tein springs are great.
