Best coilovers? - Honda Prelude Forum

Cookout · 04-08-2002, 11:47 PM

What, in your opinion, are the best coilovers for the 4th gen? I'm asking because I have NO idea which set to buy! Any help or opinions are appreciated!

ground control

the way they mount onto the shock is alot better, also the height adjusting mechnisim is top quaility too. Plus eibach springs

the best would have to be the tein ha's

bah...depends on what youre gonna do with the car..ground controls are good for daily driving and the occasional autox..just get a higher spring rate and some good shocks...as for tein..they are actually one of the "cheaper" brands in japan...they have some nasty **** there but ofcourse its $$$ to get them..aka Zeal and JIC...check out the coilover kit by ground control (shock and spring combo) they are pretty decent

hope this helps

bang for the buck...true...but you can prolly get some ground controls w/ custom spring rate and some koni yellows custom made to your specs for cheaper...i know lots of people that race on that setup...good stuff...

o just get some Tanabe's or Tein's!

i've heard of a company that sells ground control spec coilovers on ebay. They claim to be identical except they dont carry the eibach name. Anyone seen or have these?

ghettoride · 04-10-2002, 03:15 PM

yea i saw them , i cant tell ya if it's good or not, we need someone to buy them for a guine pig experament

MR.CLIFFORD · 04-10-2002, 03:53 PM

Everybody send me 5 bucks and I will get them and write a real nice IMO...... I can do the swap the same day I get them. Camber kit and all. (I'm sorry. I fell asleep at my computer again.)

those eibach springs make a whole lotta difference... if they use progressive springs then it's not worth it.... stiffer tha better.!

I have Weapon R's, the Circuit Pro 2's. They're OK, they handle awesome because of the dual spring action, I guess, but it's a full drop and I still have an inch of clearance. And it gets bouncy.

Go with Tein. You'll get a great setup...just make sure you take care of them!

shadowZZ · 04-11-2002, 03:49 AM

Yes I wish I could get TEINS, but I have Skunk2s and I am very happy with them and with some Konis I feel it will be a great setup!
