not really getting help in the Prelude forum, so i'm gonna ask here.

i have a '00 prelude that i consider on lowering with the skunk2 coilover sleeves that i have ordered already. i'm gonna be installing the sleeves on stock shocks for a while until i have enough money for some tokico shocks (maybe in a month or 2). The question is, how does it ride? i've been reading a few threads and getting all sorts of answers. some say it rides nice for daily driving which is what i'm gonna do, and some say it rides like garbage, but keep in mind that they're not bb6 owners. any prelude owners here have any experience with skunk2 sleeves on stock shocks? please give me your 0.02 cents!

one more thing, if plan on tucking 1 finger on the front and rear, is it absolutely necessary to get camber kits right away or can it wait a month or two?

 

anybody?

 

Why not just wait until you can do it all at once? When I bought my Integra, I waited 8 months to lower it because I wanted to save up and get the springs and Koni shocks and do it all at once.

yep, you dont want to do the labor and alignment twice bro.

 

dont put them on stock shocks. sure it will work but its not worth it since you are getting new shocks anyway. get the camber kit too and do it right the first time.

camber kit is most likely not needed.

 

how much should i be expecting to pay if i buy tokico blues and front cambers? is it true that cambers for the rear really isn't that essential? one more thing, are there any websites i should know about for used or new suspension parts?

 

Camber kits really aren't needed at all as long as you get the toe aligned after installing the suspension, setting the ride height, and pre-loading the suspension bushings.

Also remember that you need an alignment ANY time the ride height is changed.

As for shocks, stay away from Tokico HP's with any kind of adjustable coilover. Tokico Illuminas would be a MUCH better choice.
