Is there a suspension difference from a 92 S to my 94 Vtec (stock)? Handling is better but is that just from tire size on the S it was 185/70/14 vs 205/55/15 on the vtec. just curious thanks!

 

I'm almost sure the spring rates and damping are diffrent. Maybe a diffrence in anti roll bars?

 

Everything is the same. The 92-96 S, Si and VTEC are all the same.
Front: Independent, double wishbone (unequal-length control arms), coil springs, anti-roll bar, (sway bar 25.4mm)
Rear: Independent, double wishbone (1 trailing link, 2 lateral links, 1 control arm per side), coil springs, anti-roll bar, (sway bar 23mm)

 

That wasnt his question. He wants to know if the springs and dampers are different.

 

I am really pretty sure all the suspension is the same.... Stock VTEC prelude doesn't really feel like it handles well at all, but it does decent...

 

the question was if there was a suspension diff. and NO there is not!

Anyone know the spring rates?

 

ttt

 

I know that the springs all have the same part number, but the dampers themselves are different on the VTEC. I don't know what the difference is tho because the dampers are identical on the outside.

I was theorizing that they have a stiffer strut due to the (mild) difference in weight between the two motors, and the fact the VTEC is a more performance oriented vehicle with heavier brakes and wheels than the S.

 

I know 4th and 5th gen Accord shocks and springs are interchangable with those on a 4th gen Prelude. But I had a 4th gen Accord and now a 4th gen Prelude and the Prelude is way stiffer. I dont know if its because of the bigger swaybars or not, but I theorize it is the spring rates.

 

huh? i wouldn't expect to hear that from you corey...
prelude's handling is exceptional in it's class...

 

I think he's been hanging around with the Civic and Integra boys a little too much. The B's got to his head.
