Tanabe gf 210 springs - Honda Prelude Forum

WHITE96SI · 08-11-2010, 03:19 PM

Before you tell me to surch, I did and can't find an answer to what I am looking for. I want to lower my 96 prelude SI a little not a lot. I was thinking of the Tanabe gf 210 springs? I was hoping someon could shed some light on if there a good spring or not. I also don't want to make the handeling worse on my lude, it is my dd and I just want to make it handel better and take up some of the gap between the wheel and well. If I need something different please let me know. I don't want to lower my lude more then 1" or so.

Thanks Mark

i have the gf210s on my 5gen mounted on oem struts. the ride quality is great. crossing train tracks or entering parking lots is not harsh at all. the amount of lowering is subtle. i wish i was a bit lower. no need for a camber kit either. overall, this is a great spring. i would recommend it to you.

I have the same springs with AGX struts on my 5th gen. They are a pretty good for the money. Don't expect much of a drop though. Definitely noticed an improvement in handling and the ride quality is good too. I say go for it.

it probably isn't going to handle any better as you probably are still on OEM shocks.

if you aren't, then I would have suggested a slightly stiffer spring.

I was on 450lb front springs 400 rears.

If i did my conversions correctly (which i highly doubt, lol) the springs translate to

279lbs in the front
and
223lbs at the rear.

big difference compared to 400lbs, wow.

next tanabe rear sway bar that i hope will get rid of this understeer!

^you can also remove the front sway bar
