i have this installed in my jazz UK spec.. handling improved greatly but if you want somethin lower u shud invest in some coilovers.. only lower by 30 front 25 back.. had mine for a while now, there great...

I had them on my JDM Jazz too. They are great but as Jezzy's Jazz said it doesn't lower ur car a lot. To me, they worth the money as they are not as expensive as coilover and they are made by Showa

Ben gave me a ride on this car awhile ago which is equipped with the damper Dom posted above.

Dom: I actually wanna compare that setup with your own Mugen damper or the Mugen 5way adj ones. Valving is a lil sportier compare with my suspension setup now. Maybe it's because of the Eibach pro-kit that I have now.

Talked to Ben last night about this, he said if you were to buy it straight from Japan, they won't fit, but he said he can make them fit

Looks like the 5 way adjustable suspension. From the description of the drop the springs could be pretty similar as well. If they are the same performance wise I'd say that suspension is a good buy as I have the Mugen 5 way adjustables.

I'm leaning towards the mugen 5-ways... the drop on this j's setup looks a bit lower actually... but they're not adjustable... depends on the price I guess, if it's a huge difference then I may go with this setup, but if not, most like the 5-ways...

how much is this set up exactly? even the cheapest mugens, which aren't the 5 ways, are still at least a grand.

i'm assuming that the process king/panducky has to go through to make them fit our cars is the same as this one?

i like this set up alot. how much for these

AJ PwR Jr. · #13 (**permalink**) 04-12-2008, 03:33 PM

The J's SHOWA cost $895CAD/USD retail.

Lowers ：F－30mm　R－25mm
Spring rates ：F27N／mm(2.8kg/mm)　R47N／mm(4.8kg/mm)

bigg_kidd · #14 (**permalink**) 04-13-2008, 03:56 PM

compares to mugen SS, are these softer or harder? and does it really lower alot or not that much?

Fitting · #15 (**permalink**) 04-13-2008, 04:24 PM

Bigg_kidd the drop figure out to be f1.182" and r.985" if you convert from mm to inches.
Not a big drop like the others said.

which is perfect, because we need more suspensions that lower only slightly and enhance performance over aesthetics. (even though it does look good.)

The other thing to consider if you're looking at the Mugen coilovers is they only drop the car 15-20mm front and rear.

Or if you're looking at getting the 5 adj. Mugen suspension kit you're better of getting the JDM Tein Super Compact coilovers with 16 adj dampening, ride height adj, stiffer springs, and all for $250 less.
