Most people around here prefer using ground control coil overs with koni yellows (or at least that's what I think the pair are) but I bought a set of Tein SS which are around $800 and I love them. I havn't had any sort of problems what so ever with them like some of the others I've heard with pairing 2 different brands springs/coil overs and shocks together but to each his own.

You don't actually need suspension in Florida.

Straight, flat roads...

i drive on the beaches and off the flat roads when i surf

if your 4 cyl that can blow anything off the road (american muscle) is a Neon, please gdiaf and check again where your engine is made

your car is for "shows" yet you take it surfing. Sounds to me like you need Baha Suspension to hold all that weight and get you to the most gnarly waves and ****.

I recommend going with Skyjacker.....their suspension stuff is blue....

The best $900 i ever spent on my 95 was a set of D2 36 way adjustable coilovers. I love them because they ride almost stock even slamed to the ground. Don't cheap out on your suspension unless you want your car to ride like S***!

I am currently using Eibach pro springs for a drop, but I picked up some K-sport coilovers that I will be installing within the next few weeks

jimbo24 · 05-06-2009, 11:33 AM

Jic magic ftw!

But I've heard good things about D2 also. I got tein basics on mine because I got a pretty decent deal on them.

I've read that the 302 Mavericks are pretty rare. Just curious, why do you refer to it as a '302 Boss'? Is it not the original 210hp motor that came in the car?

Post a pic...

blah_ha · 05-06-2009, 06:56 PM

i will post pics of my mav when i can get them to my computer

I'd really like to see it. Some of the modified Mavericks I've seen on youtube seem pretty amazing.

a katana........just kidding, it's an 02 CBR954RR. I'm not saying it's the fastest thing out there, just quicker than 99% of 4 wheelers.

......also have a 02 RC51......it's my track b!tch.

I'd take some suggestions on a suspension setup for my 94 Prelude S (not Si)
It's my regular daily driver and I replaced the OEM shocks/struts and springs with some Skunk2 springs and some AM shocks but I think they're beat.

I don't want it to ride like a golf cart but would like a good stance and reasonably good feel.

Also, I'm interested in an exhaust system but not one that sounds like the proverbial fart can, heh.

Do they make a good exhaust for a prelude that's quiet but effective?

Thanks
maybe something that sounds like my m3 at youTube.com/zzsql

mooncaller · 02-12-2010, 09:19 PM

Personally I'm a fan of Buddy Club.

But Tein and well, there are a lot of good offerings out there.

I guess, are you trying to get a good suspension, or a decent one that will look good for shows?

Oh, and yeah, I just recently came across JIC Magic while doing some research for a web site.

I digress though.

petern101 · 02-13-2010, 09:24 PM

1. jdm coilovers = bling

2. do more research and learn there are cheaper better performing shocks / spring combos

3. RSR for exhaust
