just installed eibachs and tokicos... - Honda Prelude Forum

darklude · 01-28-2002, 07:44 PM

hey everyone,
i just installed my eibach prokit springs and tokico blue struts on saturday... it's pretty nice.... the ride feels a little stiffer and it doesn't dip as much when i launch or shift... and it looks nice too, there's like 2finger gap in the front and about 1finger in the rear...
one thing tho...
are there any good quality springs that are lower and stiffer than the eibach? i want my suspension to be really stiff.... especially the back...

I hate to say it, but if u want it stiffer, u should've got adjustable struts

u could always go for a rear sway bar if u wanna tighten up the rear end.

Hey I just got the exact same suspension as u did TOkico Blues with Eibach Prokit installed like last night....

I got mine used so it's already settled in and ur car will drop more than it is rite now, assuming that ur parts are brand new.....

The gap is about 1 -1.5 finger in the front and rear is less than 2 fingers...... So far the ride is very nice...

One question for u: Do u have a camber kit for this setup or are u gonna get one? Cuz it seems like the rears has a bit of camber, not as much as front tho...........

latez........

I have the the prokits for like 1.5 yrs and the blues for 4 months, there is NO camber probs! (well at least not my car)
It will settle a little lower, the ride is good and pretty stiff for street use...........
I will be selling this whole set-up pretty soon.............

darklude · 01-28-2002, 09:13 PM

well i got both the springs and struts used... and they should be settled in... but i wanna know if they make drag springs for our cars? i want the back as stiff as can be... also i kept the stock bumpstops on without cutting them...

showoff · 01-28-2002, 09:18 PM

WOW looks like you want your suspension pretty stiff,
Why didnt you go w/ GC so you could set yor spring rates?
Why didnt you go w/ an adj. shock so you can change the stiffness?
Theset-up you have w/ prokit and blus is more of a street set-up.......which is why I got it.......

U know I have like no idea since I didn't know where it went in the first place, but hopefully it fell out.....

On a side note, did u get the IMs that I sent u last night regarding Tony's car? He says there's some weird noise coming from the front everytime he comes to a complete stop.......

latez........

BTW, does anyone know if Skunk2 coilovers are good or not?
