97-01 Prelude full coilovers
 

Looking to buy some full coilovers for a 01 prelude BB6 car is just street drivin mainly just want to have a lower stance for looks and reliablity. leaning towards D2 or ground control/koni yellow's let me know what you think or add something if it has better results.

Teins are rough

Re: 97-01 Prelude full coilovers (Azlazy)
 

teins aren't too bad. theres worse rides like skunk2.

Re: 97-01 Prelude full coilovers (Sir Kyle)
 

koni/gc's. that lifetime warranty doesn't look too bad either.

Re: 97-01 Prelude full coilovers (wle05)
 

I don't think I could be happier with my GC/KYB AGX setup (1.5" drop).

Re: 97-01 Prelude full coilovers (Kronn 98SH)
 

1.5" drop is not enough for me im trying to slamm it or at least tuck a lil bit of the tires

Re: 97-01 Prelude full coilovers (wle05)
 

Great thing about coilovers, you pick your drop.

Re: 97-01 Prelude full coilovers (Kronn 98SH)
 

that is great thats why im trying to upgrade from my sprint lowering springs just wanted to get H-T's opinions

Re: 97-01 Prelude full coilovers (wle05)
 

Haha anything is going to be better than Sprint springs...

exactly. on gc's site they said 3.5'' that's plenty right there. koni can drop it an additional 20/15mm fr/rr

Koni/GC'S are the best combo u can ever do.
im gettin some Tein basics cuz i've got a killer deal on them

Re: (ffxbb6)
 

ffxbb6 hook me up with a deal too. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

i could not be happier with my koni yellows and GC'S and the drop looks nice. great for auto x too.

Re: 97-01 Prelude full coilovers (wle05)
 

I run ground controls with custom spring rates + illuminas https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: 97-01 Prelude full coilovers (wle05)
 

I'm not on the bandwagon here, but I am honestly pretty happy with my D2s on my 4th gen. IMO they are a good setup for a street car or daily driver: relatively cheap, easy install, light weight, adjustable height, choose your own spring rates, good fitment, etc.

I like the ride quality and the handling very much. If you are building a race car then of course there are better options, but for a daily they fit the bill just right.

Only downside I've seen so far is after about 4 years they do leak a bit of oil. Not enough to really worry about and the performance hasn't changed at all, but there is a thin film on the outside of the shock from time to time.

Re: 97-01 Prelude full coilovers (wle05)
 

The Koni Yellows and Ground Control coilover kit are pretty freakin swell (my setup). The only other route I'd go is Tein FLEX.

x2

This is what I use for daily driving and autox and it's a great ride. Make sure when you do get your setup to get some stiff springs if your going to dump it otherwise you might bottom out a lot.

You can't go wrong with GC/Koni. I myself have a set of Super Streets because I got a nice deal on them.

Re: (ricoMugenlude97)
 

so will GC/Koni dump the car? I at least want to tuck the tire. someone with that setup let me know thanks

Re: (wle05)
 

bump c'mon someone chime in

Re: (wle05)
 

okay picked up some TEIN FLEX for half price installed today heres a few pix still need to adjust cause the ride is CRAP feels like the upper control arms are hitting the shock tower but i couldnt tell and it was gettind dark so called it a night. pix are kinda crappy. also a pix of my K20 swapped 97 Civic for fun
