i wanted to get it before (when they said they made mistake or labeling it for the prelude...then said it was for the accord....then now back to the lude
ifigured it would be like the 5th gen one and give me more clearance between the swaybar and that bar

are those heim joints teflon lined?</TD></TR></TABLE>

If you look on their site they have them for a bunch of different cars including Accords. http://meganracing.com/product...d=108

I don't know if they're teflon lines, but it'd be nice if they were....might have to send them an e-mail.

Check the honda part numbers on the arms and if they are the same it will work.

Just lets the air flow through the bumper and creates less drag. Probably not a huge difference....but I like anything that helps you go faster without making more hp

They most likely will not work with the 4ws ludes....if I remember right they use that arm to steer those wheels, and I seriously doubt that they're the same length.

On slhondaparts.com I found the following:

Non-4WS:
52350-SS0-902 ARM, R. RR. (LOWER)
http://www.slhondaparts.com/br...R+ARM

4WS:
52350-SS0-902 ARM, R. RR. (LOWER)
http://www.slhondaparts.com/br...3SS00

So it looks like they are the same.

What sthe handling like compared to a stock lude now with all that hardware out the back?

Looked at some 4WS pics... it's not gonna work.
It's a whole different looking arm.

So it's only for non-4WS I guess.

Those mounts come with the Progress swaybar

Handling is very good. I have crappy tires right now, but I can't wait to get some Azenis to take full advantage of everything.

Here's the rear arms from a 4WS Prelude. It's definately not compatible.



Edit: you found it out already

those actually look to be pretty high quality from what I can see. Not to mention the added toe adjustability is a big plus, I would consider buying them just for that. I have maximum toe in on the rear, on neuspeed race springs and koni SP3s on the top perch and its just barely enough to keep the toe straight or slightly in

So they're speed holes? LOL.

Still, good write-up. I've always though Megan was a knockoff company. Never knew they made good parts.

Default Re: New (NukeeZoid)

was just wondering. when i first lowered my car. drove the car around for a while without going for an allignment.

the tires were all choppy on the inner wall of the rear tires. the tires were negatively cambered quite bad. i think my bearings are bad and is the reason my tires are choppy...

i didnt even bother to try getting the toe adjusted coz i didnt know better and installed cheap ebay camber kits that i got for free (the anchor arm type)...

after i got those installed the camber is close to spec (I THINK) but the toe on the rear passenger side tire is off by 0.5 inch which is alot. and my whole inner wall is bald. the guys at belle tire said that they were out of toe adjustment and couldnt get the toe in spec.

so tomorrow im gonna be putting my stock anchor arms back on. and then go for a toe allignment. hopefully its because of cheap ebay anchor arms that my toe couldnt be adjusted into spec.

I have to make a 5 hour trip this week and i dont want to wear the tire out anymore because its down to nothing and if i drive anymore with the current setting it'll blow on the highway for sure.

thats why i ordered the toe arm, hopefully the toe can be adjusted when i have the stock anchor arms back on, but if that doesnt work at least i can install the megan arms and get more adjustment. if it works, at least i have better toe arms hehe.

so now does anyone have any recommendations on camber kits for the rear? i need something cheap..but not ebay quality sheeeet.

You don't need a camber kit unless you are just tucking some crazy tire and it's obvious. Just get the toe aligned.

Yes, the car salesman told me it makes the car go faster.
