Hey Im new to the Honda-tech forum and was just looking to get some suggestions...
I have a '98 prelude bb6 and its slammed on like a 2 1/2 inch drop (guy before me did it) and I am looking at redoing the suspension so its not completely destroyed, just wondering if anyone had any good suggestions on brands or anything to help me with some ideas, thanks

 

yes...check out the tein basic damper setup.. i love it. best ride quality and look from my experience....beware of low cost knock off brands as they will be troublesome..

 

You can't go wrong with Koni/Ground Controls.
Just be wise picking your spring rates.....
I can tell you that 400F/400R is a bit aggressive for a street car.
They will probably offer you the OTS 380F/275R which should be just fine.

 

+1 on the Ground Control/Konis.

400/400 won't be too bad. I think I was on 450F/550R when I was auto-x'ing/tracking my lude alot. I daily drove it too, and while stiffer than stock, the koni's handled the spring rates fine. 380/275 also works.

 

thanks guys Ill keep my eye out

 

What are you planning to do with the car?

If it is purely a street car and you want a 1.5-2" drop, I would strongly suggest looking into Koni Sports with either an Eibach Pro-kit, H & R Sports (both about 1.5" drop) or H & R Race (about 2" drop) springs. If you are planning to Auto-x and/or go to track days, then as mentioned, Koni/Ground Control is a great way to go. Notice the common theme here is Koni Sports?!!

Hope that helps,
Brian.

 

Im using Ground control with koni shocks I love them, smooth ride with any ride height and you can adjust the stiffness with the shocks and the konis have adjustable perchs too. Here is a pic of my set up

 

The perfect reply....

Konis are the key. Most people would be shocked as to how much just turning the dial affects the ride.
We have a rippled HWY out here that is awful with the Konis on stiff, turn them to soft and its a whole new world.

 

I still find the ride ok with the shocks turned down on 650F/450R.

Ground Controls are a affordable way to give yourself a lot of flexiblity - ie, get your ride height to where you want it, choose your spring rate (and re-choose it at just over ~$60 a spring).

But they're a bad idea for a car that sees rust-belt winters, or has an owner that doesn't care about adjustments and wants simplicity. In that case a regular lowering spring might be a better idea.

 

Honestly, on the cheap, a Tokico/Eibach combo would please most drivers.
I rocked it for years and was happy.

 

koni/ground controls.

or kyb shocks with skunk 2 springs, thats what i have on my car, a comfortable 1.5" drop

 

ZEAL FUNCTION S6, haha, too expensive, but bonus points to who can answer what lude uses those.


Actually I have Koni/GC too
420lb front
380lb rear.

Im more or less just going to daily the prelude but on weekends and **** I wanna go out and have fun in Im not looking for some cheap **** Im looking just for a decent set to get me started, I have been looking at the Konis adjustables and will probally go with those. thanks for all the help

 

koni/ground controls

 

Koni/GCs for sure then.

Just a little heads up(I was told this years ago, makes sense) Don't turn the adjustment **** all the way to one side, back it off 1/8-1/4 turn.

 

gotcha thanks for the advice Ill get some pictures up when I get them in
