Default Suspension Set up help

Okay I need whos ever help I can get... I have a 97 Prelude Sh with 75k miles on it... im trying to find a good suspension set up... but im trying to keep it realitvely cheap... but i am willing to spend the money for a good set up... In about 2 Months i have to drive back and forth to college in VA which is about a 5 hour ride.. so i need something semi comfortable... but i know thats not really too much of an option... if you guys can just shoot me some ideas... like if it would be better for jsut springs... or a coilover kit.. umm what i have to do with my cambers... and what i should to about shocks and stuff if i need them and what i should get... i appreciate any help... and im sorry im pretty much a newb when it comes to suspension thanks to all that help..

There's been a ton of threads on this topic. The bottom line is that lowering springs without shocks is bad. If you want comfort, spend your money on shocks. Do a search for a start. Suspension improvements are one of the best investments for Preludes.

I agree with the above. But just for a suggested set-up, see my sig. I really really like this set up, and it's the 3rd set-up I've had on this particular lude thus far, and it is the best out of them all so far However, if I had to do it again, I would go with koni yellows over the lluminas. No problems with the lluminas, i just think that the konis would be better from what I've heard/read.

i have ill with skunk2 lowering springs very comfortable and a nice drop about 2'' all around but you need to get a camber kit bad camber ware if you don't
but all around great setup

edit: just so you know any base shock will work with your sh aslong as you do a coil or lowering spring with it
