suggestions and feedback for 1.5' drop - Honda Prelude Forum

XxPreludexX · 03-02-2002, 10:59 AM

My Ride: 97 SH
Drop I want: 1.5'
reason being cuz of the kit im getting (BW) will hang real low so I think 1.5' should be more than enough.
Suggestions on what combo I should use for this drop?

Ground Control Coilovers - There adjustable so if 1.5 inches is too high, you can lower it, or vice versa....

And make sure you get some performance shocks... preferably adjustables. Like Tokico Illuminas (5 way adjustable)..... the ride will feel even better than stock.....

i have a 1.5" drop on my 98 prelude base with Tokico High Performance springs and struts...

they're pretty comfortable... but i wish they were a bit stiffer at times...

i was thinking about lowering it more because the wheel gap is still a little big for my tastes... but with the 1.5".. i didnt need to get a camber kit.. i brought my car in for an alignment and everything was still within spec..

decisions decisions... its up to you.. practicality versus looks..

I'm using H&R Sport Springs with Tokico Illuma Adjustables and I couldn't be any happier with the combo. I wish I could go a little lower, but I don't want to scape the OEM kit.

I'm running H&R Sports with Neuspeed Koni Yellows which dropped the car about 2in since I had the Konis set on the lowest perch. Ride wise is very close to stock only if you adjust the shocks to the softest setting. Best $700 investment I ever made.

With coilovers your car will handle like heaven, but be bumpy as hell. They are stiff. If you can pay for them and you can get used to how they ride on the street then go for em'.

If I were in your shoes, I would opt for springs (eibach pro kits, or whatever is closest to 1.5"), and Koni yellow struts. With the Yellows you can use the perches to drop or raise the car .5" or keep it at 1.5".

So basically what I am getting at is you can see if you like it at 1.5" and if you dont you can change the height... It's not like adjusting the height on coilovers but at least you have that option.
