Default S2000 suspension

Has anyone every tried putting on the s2000 suspension on to a prelude. I figured sense the s2000 is a sports car that it would have better handling and with the newer parts it would be better. I thought better handling, cornering, and launching maybe.

Just an idea let me know what you think.

I'm guessing it wouldn't work... wheels would probably end up stuck in the wheelwell or something even if you did manage to rig it up

I'm sorry, but just have to post again on this retarded idea as it angers me each time I read it. Please read up on how cars and suspensions work in howstuffworks.com, google.com, even here on Honda-tech. Maybe buy a book about car suspensions, there's plenty of them out there for cheap.

Control arms, ball joints, radius rods, double wishbone, McPherson struts, sway bars, etc etc are some things to look up.

The S2000 is REAR WHEEL DRIVE, the Prelude is FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. Ok. How is that going to work?

You just assume that because the S2000 is a sports car it has the best handling suspension out there? Unbelievable... A Prelude is a very good handling car with a few mods, easily as good as an S2000 even. The potential is endless for either car really.

Also, the $$$ required to fabricate all that custom crap to swap out suspensions would cost more than an entire S2000
