way in the future but im gonna be looking all the time so i wondered if any good after market suspension (tein super streets?) will fit on a type S?

i only ask as ratty stated the suspension mounts or bushes or arms were different to others coz of ATTS.

are they different but the same or will i need specialist stuff (like the mugen ones i just sold
Evil or Very Mad )

Speaking of which...anyone know which set gives a decent stance/ride without causing filling loss or the need for a chiropractor? Wink

black dampers and blue spring is what i have atm. it feels harder than the other type S to be honest but that could just be the dodgy drivers front.

From the pics, yours does look very low on the front.. Did your previous Type S have ones like these?
