heres a pic, you really cant tell in the pic because of the distance, but i have like a 1 finger gap in the rear and none in the front. i think the reason for the 1 finger in the rear is cause its 18''s back there and 17''s up front.
thanks man. i have decided to swap out the prokits for the neuspeed race. thanks a lot everyone
I have a 98 base lude with the race springs and i love them. I have not had any problems with the stock shocks and the handling difference is amazing. They are definitly stiffer but I love them. The drop is perfect. It is the way a prelude should sit.

coooool thanks. any of you with neuspeed race springs use a camber kit? or is it not to that point yet.
The camber is only slightly off and hasn't caused a problem. I have noticed slight inside tire wear but since I autocross when I had the alignment done the guy said that it was pretty much perfect for autocrossing. I can live with the slight inside wear because it hasn't been enough to cause a problem at all.

hmm...i think i can live with a little bit of tire wear, since i drive my car pretty hard anyways. but do you guys recommend a camber kit? i mean, do the tires have major butterfly problems?
also for those with neuspeeds, how would you say the clearance off the ground is? how is your tire wear? i wouldnt want to get these springs if i have to replace my tires every 2-3 months
I couldn't tell you about tire wear other than what I said. I have a self induced tire wear problem from autocrossing and other ****. The only thing is make sure you get your alignment done after you put on the springs. That is a big thing that a lot of people forget. I have the Greddy Evolution exhaust which has a flange that sits REALLY low to the ground but it in the middle of the tire so it isn't that big of a deal. If you take your time and drive it like a lowered car you shouldn't have a problem with clearance. The only time I notice a problem at all is if there is like two people in the back. Other than that I don't really scrape on anything. You do have to go slower on certain things but it isn't bad at all.

thanks a lot man i was just concerned cuz someone emailed me and told me some pretty bad things, but it didnt seem too logical to be since they said the front was lowered 3" anyways thanks man

email me and I might be able to get you a good price through a local shop, no promises though, I can find out about the price then you can call and order it
cool thanks man is that, 1 finger gap in rear nd no gap in front? thanks
a little less than 1 finger in the back and almost none in the front...it's pretty even all around...that's what i like about the Neuspeeds/H&Rs, they lower the car a little more in the front which gives the car a "visually" level look because of the cut of the wheel-wells...Eibachs on the other hand lower the car the same all around which makes the car "appear" higher in the front because the cut of the rear wheel-well is smaller...
another option if you don't want to go as low as the Race springs is to pick up a set of H&R Sports and some aftermarket shocks (ie. Koni Yellows or KYB AGX) and set them on the lower perch which will give you another 1/2" drop or so (ie. from 1.4" to 1.9") and give you the benefits of a good shock/spring combo...
