suspension or tires - Honda Prelude Forum

Hey. i'm new 'round here. i'm grant, and ex hp.com member. i've got a '93 4ws that i autocross about once a month. At last months event i think that i've found the limits on my current set up. i'm running 205 kuhmo 712s and an upper strut tie bar. now i'm debating between koni adjustables (stock springs) and azenis. If i get azenis i'll mount them on kosei k1's and drive them only on the track. this car is already prone to what i think is excessive body roll (i've got a great pic, but can't quite figure out how to post it). I'm concerned that the dedicated rubber might worsen it. sorry for writing the novel, and thanks in advance for the help. BTW, this is a performance mod, i have 0 interest in daily driving a lowered car.

If you have body roll wouldn't the konis help more in your situation? I can help you post a pic you if want!

i had bad body roll until i got my coilovers. The springs made a HUGE difference in high speed turns, and the rims and tires helped my low speed turns. My car is damn low now, but it corners like crazy, one thing thoe, i h8 the way i have to slow down for bumps and dips, mann sometimes you hit one you dont see and, ahhhh noooo. haha

i have 215, 45, 17's

What is your drop??

alright, thanks. i think i'll save up and get the koni's first off. maybe with ground control, but probably not. i just got back from getting my front calipers replaced. $430- that's alot in college money. oh well.

you could have got the AEM big brake upgrade for that much

If I where you on your tight budget I would go for shocks cheaper like kyb's or illumina's than koni's and get more stuff like springs, sway bar, rear stb.

Just save up the money, and do your suspension right the first time... go for the Konis.

the 435 included the calipers, pads, rotor resurfacing, labor, and shipping. and i didn't have to buy new wheels. i think that i'll definitely go for the konis. i've got a four day weekend, so i can probably make enough money. thanks for the input.
