Eibachs are nice and stiff. Good choice in springs.

Chanluder - What shocks are you going to use with the Eibachs? I replaced stock on my 4th Gen with KYB shocks and Eibach springs - lowered about 30mm all round. Handles superbly (it was good before though). I put 17" wheels on shortly after - have noticed negative camber on tyres but not excessive. Speed bumps? - slow right down! There is a review of these springs on the NTPOG site for the 5th gen. Best wishes.

The site of the North Texas Prelude Owners Group:

I would n't recommend putting stiffer 'sports' springs on stock shocks- a false economy as your shocks will give way sooner than later. Uprated dampers like Koni or KYB (Kayabo) are designed for stiffer springs. I've got the KYB's - a gas shock absorber (not adjustable) - really very good and very popular with many Prelude owners in the UK.
