Tpc Suspension Review

Here you go guys. Another Toronto Prelude Club product review. http://www.hondaprelude.to If it doesn't work just try later again cause we are doing work on the site and we just switched to a new forum layout. If there are other stuff you wish to review just be patient. We will have our old review stuff from the old webboard back up soon.

The OUZO lude is a cornering monster now. I had this Saturday installed KYB AGX shocks and ST rear sway bar. This to add to my current suspension setup of: Nuespeed front strut bar, H&R sport springs, DC lower tie-bar. The shocks are amazing. I have them at the softest setting for the first week right now to break in the valves. Latter I'll be going full stiff in the back and a little stiffer in the front. Just for a summary on them. They have 4 ride settings and they will contribute another 1/2 inch drop to your existing drop regardless brand of spring. The sway bar is awesome. Guys my car is so neutral now on cornering. I was going Saturday night hard into every corner and HWY ramp. I had a blast. Only weak spot now on my setup are the RE92's. The good thing is that when I reached max cornering potential all 4 wheels would break loose and start to slide. Not just the fronts or rears.

OUZO performance rating: 5 out of 5 stars
OUZO cost rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Now some will say why didn't I go with Konis or another product. Without question Koni's are better. However keep this in mind. I wanted the Nuespeed Edition Konis like 93SRVMan has. These also come with 5 perches for height adjustability. However the problem was cost and estimated time of arrival was to much. A couple of months if lucky.
Then there were Koni Yellows. I didn't want those cause of the two perch thing in the front. Since I already had the H&R springs I didn't want to deal with the ride being to high or two low. Similar too what Clumzy (Jerry) went through. Also those don't come cheap either. So then as a cool logical thinker that I am, I asked my self what do I really need. Since I have no intention of Auto X. Going with the expensive Yellows would be overkill for my purpose. If anything I would only put the OUZO lude on a closed track if the opportunity arises. Now to quote Quick Lude. Suspension Mods give you the best bang for the buck. Now I need sticky tires and LSD
After a mod like this you realize how bad the stock RE92 tires are.

Also some credit for my mechanics at MotoWerx. They did an excellent install and babied the lude like as if it was there’s. Thanks Vince and Darren. Also absolutely not a Squeaking sounds from the rear sway bar. We put lots of lubing at the new polyurethane bushings that come supplied with the ST bar. Also the shocks come with a nifty screw driver thingy for quick adjustments.

nice!

I never knew the KYBs dropped it another 0.5 inches. Thats very interesting. I was planning on the same setup, w/ the H&Rs. Good to hear the positive report.

You should get another 1/4 emediatly after the install and another 1/4 after they settle. That's what happened to other TPC members.
