Street Sports Suspension Kit

Impression

The original height adjustable suspension had a severe pushing sensation, likely due to a broken bump stopper, which made the ride uncomfortable, so I decided to make some suspension changes.

・The spring rate must not be too strong.
・It is not a pillow ball upper mount.
・Damper overhaul intervals are relatively long

From these, I decided that the Street Suspension Kit "Kijima Spec" would suit my needs, so I replaced it. (I made a mistake in the kanji for Kijima-san in the member brace review I posted previously, so I would like to take this opportunity to apologize.)

Since all the OEM parts have been replaced with new ones, I cannot make a perfect comparison, but compared to the OEM vehicle height, the car picks up small bumps in the road more easily, but there is no unpleasant feeling of being pushed up. It handles even large, undulating roads very well.

It has a little less roll than the original and is very stable.

On the highway, it feels very similar to the stock suspension and is very comfortable.

On winding roads, there is a slight tendency for understeer, just as the suspension was designed to do, and it is harder to turn using only the steering wheel than with the original vehicle height, but if you control the throttle the understeer almost completely disappears and you can corner with stability.

I think this is the best suspension for an FD driver like me, as it combines ride comfort and sportiness at a high level.
