ummm.....stop using acronyms. WTF are you asking? are you asking about Mazda vs. Mitsubishi suspension??

or JDM vs. USDM suspension????

if it's the latter then I suggest you stop using acronyms if you don't know what they mean.

in that case NO.

The Infini might have had stiffer suspension but I think that's about it. I'm sure others will chime in with their input.

maybe if it's an infini suspension but
1. i doubt he's giving you a good deal.
2. you shouldn't really buy USED suspension, that's like buying used spark-plugs.

Just wait/save and spend it on NEW suspension that you KNOW will last.

There are many different schools of thought when it comes to shocks/struts and springs.

I personally like the KYB AGXs with some nice Eibach springs. Other's like tokiko Blues with RB springs, etc. etc.

What are you looking for?

there isn't any difference in suspension between North American, and Japanese suspension in the FC.

For easy driving with good performance while cornering "KYB AGXs with some nice Eibach springs" As phoenix7 said is probably your best bet and its very reasonable in price too.

Don't by used 20 year old stock suspension as an upgrade, just send me the money instead, either way your car is the exact same and your outta money, at least if you send it to me I'M happy

as other users have said, never EVER.........EVER, buy used suspension parts. You wont know if something is wrong with it untill you put it in your car. Some coilovers on the other hand you can buy used if you want to rebuild them, but that is still taking some risk.
