Weapon R coil overs

Has anyone had any experience with these? What exactly are the advantages of the dual perch setup?

Do a search on the subject... I think you'll find that the opinion is that it's not worth it just due to the fact that the springs bounce, A LOT. Pay some $30 more and get the GC's or Skunk2's.

i started with weapon R coilovers and found out that they are NOT actually made for the prelude... you have to do a LOT of fanageling to get them to fit...one shop here in SD said they have had to cut them before, and another wouldn't even deal with them!... I wasn't happy about spending that kind of money for something that WASN'T made for my car... i'm very very happy with my SKUNK2s... TimeRacer has a good point..spend a few extra bucks..you will be happier in the end!!! Just my $.02

if your gonna go for Coilovers, go with Ground Control, they are very dependable.

How is the ride w/ GC??? Can you ask them for softer spring rate so its not that bouncy??? How is the ride compared w/ springs such as eibach pro kit???

I can get weapon r for 360 and GC for 320 is this good. I didn't check my hook up yet because I don't have the money but is this good price. Does anyone know if Tanabe down precedo springs are good?
