Doing some research lookin at a next car.. i've been on ozhonda and from what i could find the type S sits at like 154kw or so and the type R is 145kw. Was wondering what people think would like to hear from owners of the vehicles which is better. |

The type s is supposed to respond better to mods, therefore make more power. However it's more of a luxury car and it is abit heavier and less focus compared to the type r. The DC5S would be a pefect daily driver, power wise (with minimal mods) and luxury if you don't plan to track your car. |

im assuming with the Type R having the LSD it would make it the quicker option (from factory) as it would be more able in putting the power to the tarmac??? |

To tell you the truth... in stock form you really aren't going to know the difference on the street... and you probably won't on the track either. Its not until you add intake, exhaust and ECU that you would really need the LSD. But if you set up the suspension correctly (Coilovers, swaybars, tyres/rims etc) the cars corner VERY well. |

to be completely honest the aim for the S/R would be be low on nice wheels and enough balls to say run a high 12... |

Either find a LSD from a Type R (can be found on Ozhonda or other Honda forums for around the $300-500 mark) or get an aftermarket item... which is closer to the $800-$1000... and is less daily friendly. Thank you. |

yea i'd agree i'm leaning toward a type R because of the raw feel of them (went for a test drive in one today) feels like a go cart compared to what im driving now lol prefer the headlights and the spoiler can be removed .... |

QUOTE I currently own a DC5R and last night worked on a DC5S (intake/coilovers). Difference in looks is the upgraded lights both front and rear aswell as missing the Recaro's on the Type S. With the Type S having no LSD, it was very noticeable trying to put the power to the ground. Yes the DC5S has more power on paper, it didn't seem noticeable. My R and the S had the same intake and exhaust mods. i would honestly molester these fine young amns vehicle. p.s chris, just give me the damn thing
