Default What shocks are offered for the TYPE SH models?

Hi, I can't seem to find any replacement shocks other than OEM for the prelude type sh. I searched Tokiko and Koni and they both dont offer it. I have tanabe lowering springs on the vehicle right now, does anyone know what company makes them for the SH? Thanks in advance?

I have talked to Lee at Koni about this becuase i had some problems with mine.

there are slight differences in coils used on honda's. there are three basic sizes.

prelude / accord
civic / integra
crx

the sizes of the coils and how they sit are in order from largest to smallest in the order listed.

however, the SH is the bastard child here. the coil on it is slightly different and sits so. what you need to do is to make sure that the coils and struts that you get are both for a BASE model or both for an SH. you will not find the latter however.

the main suggestion is to go with Koni of course and eibach springs. i did do all the measurements on mine and the skunk springs fit properly, however the skunk springs suck ***.


so in short, get eibach prelude springs (base model) and koni yellow struts.

just get base springs and shocks together and you will have no problems. Just realize SH shocks were different for a reason..the ATTS system
