Need Opinions, Pro-kit or Sportline? - Honda Prelude Forum

Padge · 07-15-2002, 06:22 PM

I want to drop my car, but I do not know what type of springs to get. I basically decided to go with either Eibach's Pro-kit or Sportline. The pro kit drops the car 1.2" in the front and 1" in
the rear, and the sportline drops the car 1.7" in the
front and 1.5" in the rear. They are both the same price so that doesnt matter. What would you recommend, as of now I have stock suspension and stock 15" wheels. Please recommend a drop, and any suggestions (besides getting shocks as well) are welcome. Thanks again.

I like the pro-kits myself.

theres no way thats too low, i doubt you'll even have scraping problems.

I have Sportlines, they've defintely gone lower....I just replaced my downpipe from scraping it so much. But that's just cause I was being dumb.

Let's just put it this way my WW lip is 5.25 inches to the ground....my exhaust/dowpipe/towhook sits lower than that!

Here is a recent pic

What do you mean you were being dumb?

you also have to think about snow as a factor and to make sure you have enough clearence so that you don't act like a snowplow(if you have a bodykit).

What I mean is:

I would say to myself nah I won't scrape if I go really slow over this speed bump. WRONG!

I would say to myself, nah that dead animal on the road isn't going to hit the lip, surely it will pass underneath the car and not get ripped apart on my a-pipe. WRONG!

Like I said my apipe/flex pipe took a beating and had to be replaced...but if you know where you drive and stay away from speed bumps and dead animals you should be fine. I still love them and wouldn't take a pro-kit at all, I'm just warning you.

Get the best of both and go with the Neuspeed Sports.

Padge · 07-16-2002, 11:55 AM

What does the Neuspeed Sports drop you too, in the long run?

What does the Prokit settle at?

I've had the Neuspeed Sports on my car for over three years with stock shocks and couldn't be happier. Not too low, but lower than the Eiback Pro-Kit.

Total drop is about 1.7 f/1.5 r

Do they settle more than the Eibach's, or what? I was lookin @ them, and wasn't sure what the difference in the neuspeeds and the eibachs were.

I love my new H&R 1.3" drop sport springs... not too much and tightens it up beautifully.

Hmm.. that didn't answer your question at all however!

H23Lude · 07-17-2002, 12:18 AM

i had both before. They're both great springs but i dont like prokits because it wasnt low enough. (looks stock) Well..with stock wheels it looks ok but with 17s it sits too high So then i bought the sportlines...definitely looks better i think. But then i wanted it lower...so now i have ground controls.

KB798 · 07-17-2002, 02:06 AM

i'd go with prokits if u have ****ty roads and lots of dips, bumps, etc in ur area

Yes, I do believe they settle more than the Eibach Pro-Kit, but not as low as the Sportlines.

Here's pictures of my car so you can see for yourself how it looks on Neuspeed Sports.

Right now though I have stock wheels, I am going to get 17's but not for a few months. so what one of those choices be best with both setups?
