Nah, that's past tense, in earlier days tires used to have some sort of coating, modern ones only have a fast wearing layer of ... on them, a nice short burnout will do the trick, or 50km of driving.

Tein is a very nice upgrade to the car, BUT... I'm pretty sure they're kinda overrated.
A set of yellow Koni's with Skunk2 coilovers are a pretty good upgrade, and probably cheaper.
The DC2 is already blessed though with a superb set of shock absorbers and springs, nicely balanced and well usable on the track.

But it's your car, and I love it the way you're making it (according to your stated plans that is :lol: )

#37169 was thinking of Super Street with upper mounts, but with stiffer spring rates.

the flex are on the cards though, really wanted the super racing but even with my discount they a very expensive!

Nope. the JDM ITR was introduced in 1995 as a 96 model. it was the US and UKDM models that were introduced in 97 for the 98 market year.
