suspension
I am pretty new to this site and just starting to get into prelude knowledge, I was wondering if anyone can help me. I need to know what kind of suspension the 1993 Honda Prelude Si 4ws? Struts or shocks? And also wanted to know what kind of suspension setup has given the best results to prelude drivers of this forum?

Re: suspension (dafinestlude08)
i am a little confused on your question... but to try and help you with an answer as best as possible:
struts/shocks = same thing just different terms... unless youre talking about strut/sway bars? ::scratches head::
what kind of suspension?
there are countless routes to go here... a lot of people will vouche for the koni yellows w/ pretty much any named spring/coilover set....
btw... 4ws, lucky bastard

Re: suspension (SNsLude)
Struts and shocks are not the same; the spring is physically seperate from a shock, while on a strut it is not.
Struts are also an integral structural part of the suspenion; often providing a pivot point for steering. They can also be linked to castor and toe adjustment.
Prelude's use shocks, not struts.

This is entirely dependant upon budget, intended use of the car, tires use and driver's preference. There is no blanket answer, one size fits all, answer.
