CR conversion for the suspension is the way to go. Once my DD gets here next month, it'll be time. Good luck with it!

EDIT: See if HTG will match the sway pricing.... he probably will.

i don't see why spend that much for a cr suspension when you could probably get a more serious aftermarket setup???????

scc did a comparison a couple months back about the difference between the stock ap1, ap2 and cr and compared them to most of the aftermarket coilover companies and the cr did the same or better than most of the companies. what is different about the rear upper tower braces between the ap1 and cr (i have a hardtop and no softtop) and what is a steering rack stiffner?

All I know about the CR rear brace is that it's bigger and stiffer, and has four mounting points (I'm guessing sort of like a triangulating, or boxing, brace), but you can't have a soft top (at least not put down) with it.

Also, that SCC comparison was bs, some of those cars were beat to crap and they even admitted that the condition of some of the cars made it almost impossible to do an accurate comparison.

That being said, the CR suspension was designed by the guy who originally designed the S2000, as well as the NSX, and it was his last project before he retired, so I bet it's a pretty good setup.

In order to get a good coilover setup, you're going to spend 1000-1500 for a set and then you need to have them set properly to garner any real gains.

The CR suspension is ready to go. No adjustments needed.

ok that makes sense I guess. Yeah I have heard that the upper tower brace increases stiffness dramatically and would definitely get one if I didn't have a soft top......

Will the CR rear bumper work on the AP1?
