1999ish Integra Type R suspension vs. HFP suspension

Illinoisone · 02-06-2008, 12:44 AM

Hey everyone, first post here, love the site. Does anyone know how the last US spec stock Intergra Type R's suspension compares to the new HFP si suspension. I really loved the firmness of my buddies old stock Intergra Type R's suspension and would love to duplicate that same feel in my si coupe. Are the two similar, or will I be way disappointed with the HFP?

Sorry revvy, but when you say Mugen like that, which kit exactly do you mean?

Setups are different (mac strut vs double wishbone), but I'm fairly confident the new SI is every bit as firm as the old ITR. I currently own both fwiw. The SI isn't nearly as nimble, but that's mostly a factor of the longer wheel base, higher cg, increased weight. Also, the shock valving on the SI, leaves something to be desired. I'm guessing there's a fair bit of handling improvement just by upgrading the shocks, which was NOT the case with the ITR.
