Im wicked lost i need major help, i wanted a coilover system a little while ago but after reading about it i seen i didnt wanna deal with cornerweights and all that junk, so i thought about a shock/spring combo, but i dont wanna lower it to much
eliminate the gap thats about it cause my kit is to low and lots of hills i nearly scrape with my stock bumper!!! so i need some ideas guys info what would u pick also the roads suck!
Coilover or Shock/Spring combo, if you went with the second answer which ones? no more than 1.4 drop

 

Koni/HR combo is pretty damn good.

 

thats a bit 2 low

 

I would still get the GC's. You don't have to deal with corner weights unless you choose to.

 

i hate GC's but if dont deal with cornerweights whats the point of even getting a coilover system...

 

Do U have the $$$ for Mugen? Thats a plug-n-play spring shock combo that gives U a 1" drop F/R...

Paul

 

waste of money $1000+ for a 1" drop bleh, not worth it

You get to pick the spring rates & you have adjustable ride height.

ya but dont wanna deal with it, lets keep it simple spring and shock combo .. which ones do ya recommend now.

 

Man, you're shooting down everything anyone suggests - seems like we're running thin on ideas...

I'll try once more tho - it's been a while since I've checked but I think Apex'i makes sport springs that give a 40mm drop - combine these w/ Koni yellows which have an adjustable perch height and you should be able to get close to 1.4"

ya see, thats not the issue man but heres the downsides i dont like.
GC - Bad previous experience to bouncy and made noises sucked.
H&R - too low
Coils - rad alot on them cornerweights adjustibility, and such scared me away.
eibach - seems my only choice right now but i heard they dont function well with koni yellows.
neuspeed - they dont match the car all around and they lower 1.5
progress - same issue 1.5 once it settles it ends at about 1.7 or so my kit would snow plowing everything and the pot holes here bite!!!.

 

Why would Koni/HR be too low? HR sports are 1.4" drop. If that's too much then adjust the perch setting for less of a drop.

 

anubiss, i was gonna go for the h&R sports but have you seen the setup, of the R34 front,bw sides ,bc rear, the front hangs low, im afraid of scrapping the thing to death being fiberglass .
eibach - i hear the sag after a little while

Here is a pic of my car with the Koni/HR combo.




That is the middle perch I believe. You can choose to raise it by using a different perch though.

wow you still look like your stock high, i'd def be using the the last perch, i need to be lowered a lil bit more than that, i was looking at hp.com some ppl that say they got the H&R/Koni combo, looked alot more lowered than that 1-2finger gap u got a at least 4 there.

 

i've heard that lowering the 5th gen is not good?...is this true?...some guy posted in PO.com that two of his buddy broke the axles bcoz of the drop...is that really a problem with the 5th gen?

 

Only 2 finger gap. It may look like four but it's not.

 

dflipmode: never heard of such a prob maybe if it was a SH that might of been it, 2 fingers, wow... i might haft lower it lower than.

 

i found it here it is same exact setup i got , see how low she is with H&R's not even koni!!! http://www.hondaprelude.com/setups/s...y.asp?id=16280
damn for the lazy ones heres a pic.
shes got the exact same setup as my sig.

I definately say stay away from GC's. Worst product on the market. If you want used GC's I'll give you mine with front Koni Yellow's for $50 plus shipping. I have Tein HA on all four coners and they are the Sh@t! Save your money and get real coilovers.

 

i got the money for HA but why do i need it its for daily drivin, SS works just fine but why get coilovers i'll touch them probobly once a year, and my ride suffers because its not properly tuned.
