DC2 springs on EK4? & EK9 suspension of EK4 questions!

[aj17ay]

Would DC2 springs fit on standard EK4 suspension?

If so, would the ride height be compromised (higher)? Spring rates?

I'm also thinking of using the EK9 suspension (springs/dampers) and read a previous thread regarding the use of sway bars!

From experience have EK4 drivers using EK9 suspension, used ek9 or after market rear sway bars with ek9 suspension on their ek4? If so, was it the front or rear sway bars that made a better difference?

My car is a daily drive and have no plans to track it!

Thanks

DC integra springs will fit, ITR springs will of course be stiffer than the EK4 ones, and also lower by a little bit. ITR rates are 4.4kg/mm linear rate front, 2.5 to 4.4kg/mm progressive rear.
A full EK9 shock and spring setup would be better than ITR springs on your EK4 shocks, just because the EK9 coilovers are already made for each other. I hope you find good deals on these OEM parts, otherwise you might as well pay a little more for quality aftermarket coilovers.

EK4's have a 26mm front sway bar already right? So the only thing that you could change is the rear. A 22mm EK9 or 23mm JDM ITR rear bar would make an enormous difference in handling, the car wouldn't want to understeer so much.
