97-01 Prelude full coilovers

wle05 · 06-26-2008, 10:20 AM

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.

MyHotsh · 06-26-2008, 11:33 AM

I have the TEIN Super Streets on my 01 Prelude SH. Love 'em

Azlazy · 06-26-2008, 12:44 PM

Teins are rough

Sir Kyle · 06-26-2008, 12:50 PM

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

ethereal2pt2 · 06-26-2008, 01:57 PM

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

Kronn 98SH · 06-26-2008, 02:41 PM

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

wle05 · 06-26-2008, 02:44 PM

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

Kronn 98SH · 06-26-2008, 04:26 PM

Great thing about coilovers, you pick your drop.

wle05 · 06-26-2008, 06:23 PM

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

no1knows908 · 06-26-2008, 09:35 PM

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

ffxbb6 · 06-27-2008, 05:10 AM

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

wle05 · 06-27-2008, 06:46 PM

ffxbb6 hook me up with a deal too.

E-Money · 06-28-2008, 07:33 AM

koni/eibach pros

redegracer13 · 06-28-2008, 09:00 AM

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

Obama · 06-28-2008, 09:52 AM

I run ground controls with custom spring rates + illuminas

Hawkze_2.3 · 06-28-2008, 09:53 AM

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.

PreludePilot · 06-29-2008, 07:13 AM

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

the 5Zigens are 205/45/17x7
and the Time Attacks are 215/40/18x7.5

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.

ricoMugenlude97 · 06-30-2008, 09:46 AM

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

wle05 · 07-01-2008, 06:45 PM

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

wle05 · 07-04-2008, 11:40 PM

bump c'mon someone chime in

wle05 · 07-21-2008, 08:37 PM

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

Saosinx · 07-21-2008, 09:24 PM
