Default Front suspension & Type R Cluster?

I'm thinking about putting a Type R gauge cluster in my Gsr. I'm not sure if I want a Jdm or Usdm. If I go w/ a Jdm one can I just plug & play or mods. If so might go Usdm. We'll see. It'll set the look off. Now which ever route I go I'll just take note on my actual miles & the used cluster in case I ever need to sell won't be any issues.
My other question was what can I do to tighten up my front suspension more besides lowering ride.

For the cluster it depends on the year of your car and the cluster, but you can always just do a Frankenstein cluster swapping the JDM/USDM guages into yours. That is what I did as I got a 97 JDM ITR and needed it to fit in my 00 GSR...not to mention the JDM ITR did not have the SRS plug/lights on it.

Once you go amber in your cluster you are going to want to do the rest of your dash as well.

yup, you'll want the rest of the stuff to be amber too.

as for front suspension without lowering, the easiest thing to change is your tires. no use in spending mega bucks on suspension parts if your tires are sh!tty.
