Coilovers, Springs, Shocks??? - Honda Prelude Forum

Hey all,

I'm looking to lower my lude real soon. My question is......what do I need? I've seen coilovers, shocks, springs but I'm not really sure which ones are the best. They have to be ajustable, I want to drop the car 2" but if thats to low for where I live I'll need to bring it back up a little.

Any help/info and advise would be great.

Also how much would I be looking at?

Thanks

Dave

If your on a budget. Ground Control Coilover Sleeves and Tokico or KYB struts. (adjustable or non-adjustable)

If not ona budget, Tein or Apexi Coilovers. (real ones..)

the Budgeted Option: 500-600 or so.
Non-budgeted Option: 900-1400.

Those are both adjustable options.

Springs arnt adjustable.. you'd have to replace your 1.8" or 2" drop to get a 1.4 or 1.5" drop... springs spacers are bad.

So are the KYB struts adjustable or not? Do they make both adjustable and non-adjustable struts?

KYB does make both adjustable , and non-adjustable shocks... the KYB AGX are adjustable. Good choice, and they are not to expensive. Many people here consider the AGX's the best choice if you cant afford Koni yellows.
