ok. so i recently sat in my friends car who had eibach sportlines for the 97-01 prelude...i do not know if they are discontinued or not but what i have been getting is that i cannot find them anywhere. i call up modacar because i did see it in their suspension package, but was not sure if they were still selling it. i called up their customer service rep and got a reply that the 92-96 eibach sportline should fit on it as well. can anyone vouch for this or has anyone done this ? i couldnt find this answer in the search function.

 

yes the will work

 

but if im not mistaking. if you use 92-96 shocks on a 97-01 you must use the springs from a 92-96 model. i may be wrong on that but im not sure but ive heard that

 

see thats the thing. i never heard of that either, and if im correct, they even have a seperate label for 97-01 ludes (excluding SH).im talking about pairing a 92-96 springs on a 97-01 shocks (tokico illumina).. is it possible then ? or must i get shocks that are 92-96 as well ?

 

so can i pair shocks from 97-01 prelude with a 92-96 eibach sportlines ?

no 4th gen on 4th gen, 5th gen on 5th gen. you can put 4th gen shocks+sprngs into 5th gen and vice versa but you cannot mismatch the parts

 

hmm.. shoot, because i bought tokico illumina 97-01 springs... it wont fit with 92-96 eibach sportlines then right ? shoot.. anyone know what else is a good drop and good handling springs ?

 

I think the 4th gen and 5th gen shock/springs are interchangeable, but the upper mounts are different. So if you use the respective upper mounts on the cars, they will work.

 

do i have to get these seperately ? i already got the shocks. it says that the tokico illumina is for 92-01 and the shocks for eibach are 92-96. i have a 97-01 prelude. damn i heard the answer many times but it just feels so wierd. ill show you guys what it looks like after im done. well anyways. ( i hope were all sure about this) i need one last confirmation !!!

 

i searched


yes, although i hear 5th sh dont fit base models/4th gens....

but if theyre for a base, they will fit...period
-mgags


so after the research i did it says you can do it as long as its not being done to an sh.

so base/4th gen cant use parts from the sh so i think you should be fine. not sure though.

 

damn this feels wierd. its like trying to finish the puzzle using a pieces from a different puzzle box...


anyways. ima try it out. ill be the guinnea pig. ill let you guys know of ride quality.. the time spent and how hard it is. pics might be posted !!
