FBP EM1 FBP EM1 Soon to have boost Post Master Registered: 12/06/06 Posts: 2344 Loc: Yay Areeeeaaaa	Does anyone have any feed back on the Mugen racing suspension? I'm considering buying this setup off of my friend's EK. Is it worth it? I currently have GC's on OEM struts. Thanks for your help in advance! _________________________

You might be able to get more bang for your buck, depending on what you want... Mugen parts are always very nice, but also VERY spendy.

FBP EM1 FBP EM1 Soon to have boost Post Master Registered: 12/06/06 Posts: 2344 Loc: Yay Areeeeaaaa	Yea this is why im at a crossroads! My buddy is giving me a pretty good deal on the parts. But i also hear that the GC/Koni setup is nice too! Well i have two choices: Buy the Koni yellows to complete my setup or buy the mugen suspension w/ approx 38k miles on it for around the same price of the yellows alone! Plus being able to say that you have mugen full racing suspension on my ride may be reason enough for me! _________________________

Runnin@Redline Jr Runnin@Redline Jr Post Master Sr Registered: 11/02/99 Posts: 9480 Loc: Midwest Eh?	My Dad has the Mugen EK suspension for the CTR on his 99si, it rocks, the suspension is the best i have ever been on. it has softer rates then what you expect the car should have and in comparison to the other suspensions out there but it does the job the best. seriously, best suspension ever. If you do get the Mugen, make sure it has the damping adjustment and youll love it. _________________________ Adam

President President Newbie Registered: 02/18/05 Posts: 3 Loc: IL	You said "race suspension" so I assume you mean the Mugen N1 or N-Zero suspension, and not the Lowdown street suspension? For the N1, it is pretty much race track only and is valved very stiff. If it is your daily driver I would honestly stay away from it, even though it is the best suspension you can get short of Moton or Penske. The N-Zero is similar to the N1, but is valved softer to appeal the crowd who track their cars heavily. It is street-friendly but is still on the rough side. Lowdown is the best compromise for street and occasional track events. Height is not adjustable so there's one less thing to screw around with. I've had quite a bit of experience with it and I like its performance. But the price is definitely not very attractive. Depending on your budget, I would actually highly recommend PIC suspension: www.picperformance.com They have been very serious about research and development of their suspension. Every race I went to, I saw them spending a lot of time and effort to test and tune their suspension and get feedback from the racers. _________________________

My mistake it wasn't "race suspension" but it was the Mugen 5-Way Adjustable Suspension Kit (lowdown?). Here's a link: http://www.kingmotorsports.com/category.aspx?cat=44 it retails for 2068.00 but i would be getting a used setup for a fraction of the cost...Like Nate said' "Mugen FTW!" _________________________
