Reply With QuoteHow much did the install cost? Glad to hear you enjoy it, sounds like the perfect solution for a lot of people.
Like the title says, got my Mugen susp put on Thursday. Like others, I only have positive things to say about it. No body roll at ALL, ride is close to stock quality, and the looks of the drop are perfect! It's been raining here everyday since then, but I should have pics up this afternoon; stock rims.

Last I saw, the cost of the setup at kingmotorsports.com was $1000 USD. However, I don't have any clue how much it would cost for installation (seeing how I don't happen to have a garage to work out of I'm going to have to take it to a near by suspension place) I was going to hold out for the H&R Cup kit (the coilovers, not just the springs), but I haven't heard anything positive about them. In fact, I've been hearing that there's serious questions about their quality and ruggedness.
In any case, it's nice to know that SOMEBODY got suspension work done besides springs! I've been hearing that the drop is about 1" on all sides... is that correct?
Well, let me know your overall impressions after you've driven it for sometime. I'm looking to getting a similar setup this summer with stock wheels. However, it looks like I might have to go with another setup if the drop is less than an inch.
Thanks for the info!
AFAIK, the Mugen drop is around 1.4"

the top of my head) who have full coilovers. Browse back through
the suspension forum (might have to go back 6 months) and you'll surely
find some posts from owners of KW V2's, these Mugens and various
Teins.
There are definitely a TON of Mugen reviews/pics, you'd just have to
search to find them all. It seemed for a month or two that probably
20 people got the Mugens. A couple guys at honda-tech.com really, really
like them.

She sooooo Durtaayy!
I see only red X's
Nice...:D
The drop looks clean... The car looks dirty, but if you wash it you'll ruin your custom ephatch.com mod... don't feel bad, my car is even dirtier becuase it hasn't reached freezing in about a week and a half, so I can't wash it or I'll be frozen out...
badass!!! i just ordered mine this morning w/the spoon t1r bpipe, dc5r rear sway and ctr uk flag badging for $1400 shipped for everything. going to have a wonderful day of installs when combined w/my spoon n1 :) i can't wait -- you need rims (so do i) haha but your car definately makes me satisfied knowing i'm not the only one on mugen's w/stock tires. great choice.

Rims and a camber kit will be coming in a few weeks, like the sig says, money comes slow. :)
mugen is non adjustable correct? how is the ride quality?
Yes, it is non-adjustable. Rides close to stock, you'll notice bumps a little more but nothing unbearable.
Thanks whiteboy for the pics. Your car looks excatly like mine except it has different stat license plates and a tint. I love the way they look. I'm currently saving for the Mugen suspension and the pics definitely helped.
Thanks again. One question though, how tough was the install? I would like to do this myself but it would be the first time doing anything like that to a car. Any info would be great.
