Ohhhhh, I see what you are looking for.

Aki has the Mugen SS suspension I am talking about. It's his dd and he said that it passes the mom test in terms of ride. He likes the added rotaton. Thing is, the SS is about $1600 new and the hfp is $600 new. There are no packages that include springs, shocks, sways for our car. So, it's piece meal for us. You don't need a front sway bar anyway, the stock one is too big as is. We have be biggest front bar of ANY 8th gen civic on the planet.

I'm saying this assuming you know the wheel tire package is the most important suspension mod. I run 17x8 +45 with 235/40/17 tires. They are 15 lbs per wheel, 7 lbs lighter than a stock wheel. It's the best mod I have ever got.

Our cars LOVE negative camber in the front. They just can't get enough. Don't worry about tire wear, if you drive with spirit on a weekly basis, you'll be fine.

Was your MR2s a dd? Or just a weekend toy? How did it ride? Is that wan you are looking for?
