How much better is the jdm h22a compared to a h22a5 for getting power out of them? Which car will handel better with a set of bc coilovers? Whats the performance differences guna be? I have so many questions. Any input would be greatfull. Cheers.

BB4's lighter

Merlin's got one of each and tracks the 4th gen, so he'll be an unbiased voice

depends if you can live with it day to day i love my bb4 but driving the 5g is completely different, both are lowered. The 4g is on a combination of dc and koni at the moment the 5g on tein flex the 4g is like an out and out track car compared to the 5g, it isnt very forgiving lol the 5g is more compliant and unrushed and not as pointy.

The bb4 sounds more like what im looking for in a lude (out and out sports car) lol. Looks like thats the road ill be going down. It dose feel quick, alot more responsive than the 5g and its completely standard. Sharper the better...! I cant lie tho i prefer the 5g looks with the motegi kit vs standard 4g. Haha. Any recommendations for coilovers to buy for the 4g? As this will be the first purchase i make for the car other than the m2b4 box iv got coming

. Cheers craig.
