Some one here has there 4th gen on bags and that bish is dumped as it gets.

ItzTw · 03-05-2003, 02:26 PM

THis is as low as I can get mine, before the strut hits the top cap....

concLude · 03-05-2003, 03:35 PM

its practically sitting on the ground

thats with only H&R springs, i'm assuming they are race ( they are red ) because its soooooo damn low. i love speed bumps

Satan_SRV · 03-05-2003, 03:55 PM

Phatz has air cylinders....drops real low in the back

MR.CLIFFORD · 03-05-2003, 04:05 PM

I imagine this is as low as you can go

pics compliments of errorr

now thats low.
i heard a story of a guy whose got his car on hydro's and he parked in front of the local stadium for a hockey game right by the sidewalk clearly in a tow away zone .. hit a button on his remove and the care dropped and you coul dhear the frame hit the pavement .. he's like yup.. cant tow it now .. walked in, walked out.. car still there with a ticket.

sometimes 20bux is a deal to park (shrug) ..

G_Loc · 03-06-2003, 01:05 PM

Why slam a prelude

sorry.. i know you guys do it for show or something, but i'm just against ruining prelude handling for looks!

I asked Errorr about his handling. He said he couldn't tell a difference from stock. Except the ride quality was actually better. He said he lost no performance in doing the bags.

??? Lowering your car greatly improves handling, im lowered about 3 inches with my neuspeed race and konis and ill outhandle a stock height prelude anyday.

isn't that do to stiffer spring rates and better struts?

I don't think height has much to do with it.

rybred · 03-06-2003, 05:02 PM

I wasn't saying anything about lowering...lowering is a must...but slamming is another thing! Mine is lowered about 2 inches...not SLAMMED!

And from everything i've learned on suspension...any lower on our ludes and it's supossed to hurt handling!

I'm not doubting that his handling must feel smoother then stock...but taking a fast corner, i'm sure his handling wouldn't be as good, or just not possible at all being slammed, without scraping like a *****!

Errorr's car is on air bags. He raises it to drive.

Padge · 03-06-2003, 07:57 PM

with air... do you have a set max and min height? otherwise how do you make sure you dont go too low and crush your body kit? and what about making sure that the height is the same at all 4 corners?

eu4ik · 03-06-2003, 07:59 PM

my friend's lude

You have pressure gauges that tells you that..

They are not bags, they are cylinders on his prelude.

Prelude_2_NV · 03-06-2003, 10:04 PM

Yes it is possible to slam a prelude, the only thing limiting this option is the type of suspension you have. Over doing this results in the upper control arm in the front suspension to bottom out on the body or the damper bottoming out on the bump stop because of the lack of travel for the damper to function correctly.
