5th gen coilovers - Honda Prelude Forum

riceburner5000 · 07-02-2007, 12:29 PM

Okay I hate to ask because i'm sure it's been answered already and I just cant find it. I am wanting to buy a set of function and form coilovers but all they have left are for the 5th gen. Will they still bolt up to my 4th gen?

petern101 · 07-02-2007, 12:44 PM

yes they will.

any reason why you want the F2 coilovers? jw since there are some more alternatives out there but wanted to know your application

Mostly because of the price. I originally planned on going with the koni/gc setup but I haven't been able to source that for less than 900. The f2's would be significantly less than that. I have always heard good things about them as well, although I have thought about the amr as well simply for the lifetime warranty.

Where you buying them from? and where in oklahoma are you?

riceburner5000 · 07-02-2007, 05:46 PM

I'm buying direct from the guys at function and form. I'm from Oklahoma City but most of my family is from Broken Arrow right there by Tulsa.

They're 850 just to start with. How much are you getting them for? You stated they would be significantly less than 900 for the gc/konis

Nice. I actually live in broken arrow, but i run www.tulsapreludes.com there is a guy in owasso that is running the function and form coilovers on his 92 and likes them pretty well.

hmm thats what i was wondering. i mean for what its worth, i would spend the money on gc/konis. you see these used all the time. (i actually have them)

marcucci would even suggest if you want to skimp on real GC's, go with the Toms coilover kit for prelude. almost exact replica of the GC for 100 bux

They are getting rid of the type I coilovers for 750 shipped.

ludehawk · 07-03-2007, 07:46 PM

that's NOT significantly less.
tease.

Mr.Badguy · 07-03-2007, 07:48 PM

so any 5th gen coilovers will fit the 4th gen?

I was thinking about Tokico Illuminas but theres a thread in the 5th gen section sayin lots of people's front ends are higher up than their rear... anyone experience this?

riceburner5000 · 07-03-2007, 09:24 PM

150 IS significantly less in my book! But sorry to get your hopes up.
Petern101 are you saying you have some ground controls for sale or thats what your riding on now?

petern101 · 07-03-2007, 10:44 PM

^i did a long time ago. i had those tom's coilovers i sold to another member for ~70 bux. which is pretty much the GC coilovers.

that being said, i am riding on 450lb f/r GC w/neuspeed konis. i might have some springs for sale once i get stiffer ones.

anyways, i see these kits for sale with some moderate frequency here on PO.
