Is my car low enough?? - Honda Prelude Forum

modmic2000 · 06-02-2004, 03:52 PM

I just installed neuspeed sports and I'm starting to think it's not low enough. It looks good to me, but most people I've asked can't tell much of a difference between this and stock.

Does it look good the way it is? Or lower???

It always looks best slammed but sometimes its not worth the worn tires and crappy ride.

still 4x4in it

It doesn't look like it's lowered much, but going too low is a hassle.

Looks good to me. It doesn't look "lowered" but it doesn't look like a 4x4 anymore.

Also, you don't have a kit so it doesn't look low to the ground.

You are completely fine, slap a kit on there and it will look "slammed."

ludebeginnings · 06-02-2004, 06:29 PM

looks a little better. Depends, if you are doing it just for looks & don't plan to up the rim/tire size, then I'd drop it lower. If you are going to put some 18's in there, get the rims first, then figure out if you wanna lower it more. It would suck to lower it & then find out to put the rims you want you would have to redo the suspension

If you just put them on, chances are they will settle a bit more. Trust me. I had my car "slammed" and my front lip is beat to all hell. Its not worth it IMO to slam your car unless you live where its completely flat. EVERYWHERE.

sandiegan · 06-02-2004, 07:49 PM

your friends dont notice a diff between this and stock because u still have stock rims and no kit. put those on, and the drop will be just fine

FullyLudedSi · 06-02-2004, 08:32 PM

looks fine. how much lower are the neuspeed sports than stocks? It'll probably settle more if you just installed them. and if you plan on getting, 17s or 18s, this is a perfect drop.

aint that the truth

modmic2000 · 06-03-2004, 02:59 AM

No rims anytime soon. I don't think I'd get anything bigger than 17's though. And no kit either. Mostly because then I gotta paint the car.

This is how it would look with race springs:

I love the aggresive look. Roads are generally flat here too.

I'm still unsure though. Thanks for the replies I'll proll be hitting ebay again soon. Anyone interested in buying these springs?

That is the drop you want!

In cali you guys dont have to worry so much about a kit/drop. Here around MA and espeically where I drive, I can either slam it (2.25" all round now

) or get a kit with 1-1.5". For me, I will have just the type-s lip and painted trim with my drop and its all good.

siklude · 06-03-2004, 08:41 AM

yeah if you just installed them let them settle...mine were way low on my stock wheels (same as yours) and I had a 1.5 drop. I believe thats the same as yours right? but when i put my 18's on it brang the car up a little...looked perfect. your car does look lower..but not by much...
