Default 94 Si Lude suspension...

Im looking at getting either a good set of springs and a camber kit, or coilovers for my 94 Si Prelude...

(Im also in high school and dont have an assload of money to spend, so dont say something crazy please!)

You don't need a camber kit. People will tell you things. You made a good decision by coming here and ask people who know more than whoever told you you needed a camber kit. All you need is a good alignment.

First of all, how much money do you have? how low do you want to go?

BUT if I can get a good set of springs and take it to the local Honda dealer, get it aligned... I'd like to do that vs. spending all that money now. I can always get a good set of coilovers after I graduate, but springs are really what I'd like to do. Anybody got any suggestions on a good set of springs?

Obviously, not too many people on H-T have a 94 Prelude running a suspension within your budget.

If you're looking to make a good choice, you'll have to do some research on your own to determine what rates to get, whose to buy, and where to buy them. In the end though, you'll never know for sure if the springs are right for you unless you try them, and nobody can do that for you but yourself.

You can do a favor to future searchers too, and provide your review. If more people provided their first-hand review of products they've tried, then we'd have a broader database of information for others here on H-T.
