j's racing goodies
I want to improve cornering with j's racing stuff, but i don't know what to go for, here are my options:
Roll center adjusters
Front strut bar
Side inner brace
Rear strut tower bar
Any suggestions would be appreciated! It would also be nice to know in what order to get them
Btw as it's written in my sig, i'm dropped on GF210 and have the progress rsb!

Damn after lots of research, seems that the RCA and the side inner braces are really worth it but a PITA to install. as for the strut bars, they seem to be mostly dress up parts... i could also have a cheap LSD, but the clutch type is high maintenance... my plans we're more set on helicoidal type

i can hook you up with a full j's strut and spring combination where you will notice the most difference if your interested.
an x bar for the interior will help tie the chassis together so you will notice a slight difference there as well.

For now i bought ingalls stiffy and camber kit... I might go with fender braces, but for the RCA i don't think it will still be worth it when i pull the trigger on J's shocks... am i right?

j's parts go nicely with each other. since the car is riding slightly lower as is now i would get the rca and then later on get the shock/spring so that handling will be at its premium capability.

Thanks for the info! The thing is that kelsodeez said it was a real PITA to install... The JDM kit would be a lot better (with reinforced arms) but does'nt fit USDM... At least i'm only dropped by 1.2" that's why the GF210 don't drop as much as DF... Tanabe probably did'nt want to mess up the suspension geometry...
The RCA would make the camber bolts useless right? Btw what's the ride height vs. OEM on the showa's? Do they have camber adjustement? Would they perform close to CO on track?

If you need a good price on the J's strut bars, send me a PM, I can refer you to someone for a good deal.

its the sport suspension that i would recommend.
J's Racing The X'tream Honada Ride
they handle very nicely. i installed them on a local ge and they improved overall handling very much. definitely what i would recommend for a dd and occasional track time.

mmmh... you're talking about the first set right? That's also the one i was reffering to (i said showa cuz they're the ones who makes them)... can they compare to Skunk 2 pro-c's, AMR, T1R? softer i guess? and no adjustement... but that's alright, i trust more Showa to set up my suspension than myself after all they know what they're doing!
That was the set i wanted most because i prefer trusting a major damper company i.e. bilstein, showa, tokico than brands like megan, skunk 2, etc. but i know lots of people love the pro-c's

But what's the drop? there's no point of putting RCA's if the drop is lower than 20 mm i.e. 3/4 inches... if it's more than that well yes it would be worth it... but problem is that they reuse the stock arms and they're said to bend easily when you install the RCA... Other problem is that you have to run 15" wheels or more after that... or you will ruin everything, ask kelsodeez...
#15
dang... anyone can comment on AMR? seems like they might be more adapted for track than showa (j's) and there's a member selling them for cheap on here!
EDIT: I did lots of research about AMR and least i can say is that Andy sure backs up is product... It seems that they use larger diameter piston, which produces a gash on the rear from rubbing, however it's said to not affect the ride...
I would really like to know what is the height of the showa suspension, I know that being to low without RCA's really screws up suspension geometry and i don't want to do that... AMR coils could prevent this issue...

the j's is preset for you with a stiffer ride for when you want to hit up the twisties but are still as reliable as the oem.
coils have more adjustment than most people know what to do with and are just overkill for a dd.
this is just my 2 cents.
