I have a 1991 Honda Prelude 2.0 si. I just put the "FAKE"adjustable coilover that I got from ebay for cheap and the ride is SUPER bouncy, so i've decided to go with lowering springs to make it better. Which springs should i get to make my ride better and also give it that look. I was looking at Eibach springs. How's the ride on that? Is it still bouncy ? It's a 1.5 drop on the frontand 1.5 on the back. Will that be low enough so it' not sitting so damn high?

I don't know about Eibach but you can use ground control coilovers

 

do you have a budget?
ground controls are good, with some aftermarket shocks, even better

 

1.5 front and back should give you a pretty decent drop, its not gonna be tucking or anything, but personally, i wouldnt usually go much more than that for a daily driver. also, the lowering springs should definately stiffen the ride up quite a bit. the only car with eibach springs ive ever personally driven was a taurus sho, and it didnt seem very bouncy at all to me, cornered much nicer than stock though. although a taurus and a prelude are much different vehicles.

 

Thanx a lot. 1.5 should be good i'm hoping. Prelude sit very high stock, so i need to drop it. By any chance do you think i can use oil struts that i just got 4 months ago with Eibach springs? When i mean bouncy i mean i was hitting the roof of my car wiht my head haha. Hopefully these eibach springs will do the trick.

 

i have some h&r they are ok

 

Yea a 1.5 drop would be perfect, because any lower is kind of saggy. I recommend getting some "TANABE GF210"

 

I just purchased Eibach Sportline springs off of eBay the other day for my '95 Si. They're supposed to drop it 1.7" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. I'll be putting them on as soon as I get some shock absorbers. I'll probably get the KYB GR-2 shocks to accompany these springs. I'll repost when I get the hardware installed.

 

replace your shocks. lowering on stocks shocks = shitty ride quality
