Suspension set up? - Honda Prelude Forum

Jeager · 03-01-2004, 09:30 PM

just curious on what you guys think is a good suspension set up..
Im probably going with KYB agx shocks and neuspeed sport spring... what else do I need for a good or decient set up? sway bar, strut bar, tie bar?...and if so a reccomended brand

Thanks

That seems like a good start. Usually what I do with suspension mods is. Drive the car for a while, and see what it is lacking (understeering, oversteering, too bouncy, etc), then get suspension products to improve the problem

Whats a good high end suspension set-up? Tein flex coilovers? What else?

Koni, Tein, JIC come to mind. More towards Tein and JIC.

Tein is great however the materials (steel) they use is lacking, compared to Koni and KYB. In short Tein handles well but Koni or KYB are better cafted and still handle just as well with the right springs/coil overs

Because Tanabe is more well known as an exhaust manufacturer.

im rolling on kyb agx and H&R sports... the front are higher, i heard that neuspeed are a more well evened drop

Dunno about Tein's quality lacking...at first, they had some problems rusting, but their newer products are better. Everybody seems to talk bad about Teins, but many of those people don't even have them. Tanabe, Moton, HKS, and JICs are nice, but you pay almost twice as much for them as you would for a set of Tein SS's...

nah i belive they still rust

If i remember correctly, JIC doesn't make an off the shelf setup for the lude. I think it must be custom made

tein's still rust, but not that much, im pretty impressed with how mine handled this winter. i have pictures of the rust if anybody wants them.
