Default Honda Prelude SH Suspension

Way over due on updating my shocks/struts but wanted to know what shock/strut set up will work on the SH? I already have coilover springs but need new shock/sturt set up. Will Tokicos work? KYB'S? Eibach? Koni's? Dont know which ones to buy. Can anybody help?

-Thanks

just get base shock/spring and your good.


I just replaced my SH suspension with Ground Control (for base)/Tokico Illumina (for base) and love it. For the price, just over $650, you cant beat the performance.

An arch rival of the Tokico Illumina is the Koni Yellow. While more expensive and more popular (they will be jammed down your throat by everyone here as the BEST SHOCK EVAR ) your performance will be defined by your paticular set up... not everyone elses.

I recently replaced my suspension with Koni Yellows/Ground Controls, best $300 dollars I've spent.

Ground Controls aren't true coilovers.

I bought my Yellows/GC's used locally from a kid who didn't want them anymore, they're great. Fully adjustable height/stiffness wise.
