Default different front hubs

not really sure which section to post this in.

do any honda's run a conventional style front suspension, ie mcpheason style. but also need prelude drive shafts to fit.

many thanks

i'm planning on building a new racer with macpheason style front hubs, instead of the stock prelude setup.

i've found out that the later civic type r and teg dc5 have this setup, will a lude/accord outer cv fit these hubs?

The last thing you want is to downgrade from 92-00 suspension to 01+ geometry.

i would make it double wishbone by making a conversion to a rose joint off of the top shock mount on hub.

I believe the 98+ Prelude and 97+ CRV ran 36mm axles so that will work with your DC5 (Type S and Type R) macpherson setup.
