Hey guys

I was at a car meet the other day and a guy offered to hook me up with the following pieces off his 5th gen base model: Skunk2 coilovers with Tokico Blue struts (front and rear). Even though they were on a base model, can they be installed on the SH?

yuppers, altho, its not a good idea to buy used struts

 

[godfather16]

I second that! I will never buy used suspension.......Coils or Shocks...

 

[NotoriouSH]

You wouldn't buy used suspension because you don't trust the seller or because it doesn't perform correctly after being re-installed?

cuz

1. you dont know if theyre blown or not

2. they wont last as long as ones that you bought brand new

well the guy selling them only has 8,000 miles on his car
he just got Teins, lucky :bigthumb:

Anyone know if the skunk2 coilovers with tokico blues would be a good setup? Ride quality is my main concern, but I'd like a little better handling too.

i dont see anything wrong with buying used springs/coilovers, they cant be "blown out" like struts, but I wouldnt buy used struts unless they were used for a small mileage

 

[Mike03]

i agree, i wouldnt buy used struts either but i would buy used springs/coilovers.

Well to clarify, he's selling the coilovers with struts for $150. For that price I'm not going to ask him to break up the set. Anyone know if the Skunk2 coilovers and Tokico blue's are a good setup? I don't know of many Prelude owners who use Skunk2 coilovers, I'm wondering if they are extremely stiff? How low can you drop an SH before the CV boots rip?
