Idk what parts exactly that I need to lower my car. Like do I need coilovers or coil sleeve or camber kit or all 3? I don't need a pricey brand name or anything a long as its durable. And where can I find it? I got my lip kit and rims coming home soon and all I need left is to lower.

 

Yes get a camber kit, you want 4 degrees "Positive" camber front and rear. Take off stock springs, and just eye ball it and cut it and throw them back on. It will handle like a real jdm drift car, if fwd could drift. Although fwd cars can drift, if you think about it anything can drift. A leaf drifts through the air, a plastic bag drifts across the ground. A snowdrift is literately a pile of drifting snow. So yes fwd cars can drift. You should get a wing, it actualy helps fwd cars handle better. In the corners your asking your tires to support the weight of the engine, pull the car along, and turn/ change vehicle direction all at the same time! Thats asking alot, which is whats causes understeer, a wing on your fwd car would apply downforce to the rear off the vehicle taking stress off the front. Therefore you increase your traction and corner better. Common misconception wings on fwd do nothing, on a track car they help.----If you had time to read all of this you had time to google search honda-tech forums or online to answer this question on your own. If you ask people will say name brand $$ stuff, i would suggest Tien super-streets $1000+. Research before you post, people dont like to spoon feed others.

 

wtf does half of what you said pertain to anything he asked??

first off DO NOT cut your stock springs and then just throw them back on.
if your just trying to lower your car a little bit then some lowering springs and struts would work fine. on my 4th gen i have eibach ground controls with my stock struts and it rides fine. depending on how much you want to spend defines ride quality. just google lowering springs/coilovers for a 5th gen then go from there. but do not cut your stock springs.

 

Hey don't get your panties in a twist little man, if you can't tell I was being sarcastic with my suggestions your a dumbass. Who wants 4 degrees positive camber?.... My whole point was to tell him he needs to do his own research and not expect people to just give him answers "spoon feed". Unless he's the first person to ever lower his car, I'm sure there are threads on this...

 

lol ok, i will be spamming your threads with random bullshit. sound good?! whats the point of coming back with some absolute bullshit when some one has a legitamate question. not every one knows exactly what there doing, hence the reason why there are alot of threads like these. dont be a complete douche by feeding them bullshit. point them in the right direction and let it be. know one likes a "know it all" that doesnt know ****.

 

+1

 

I just installed the Tokico blue shocks with the eibach pro-kit springs and i like the ride so far, I actually went on the more basic setup. Sure there are alot better options if you want to adjust, then get the coilovers, personally, id stick to the name brand stuff, if its priced really cheap, then theres a reason for it

not that some things cant be reliable and on the cheap side as well, but i wouldnt chance it on a crucial part of your car

P.S. probably need a camber kit, it wont hurt, and definately get an alignment after drop

 

First off to the OP there was no disrespect intended, although your question was blunt. You said you didnt want to drop money, and you dont know what you want. Maybe if you were asking about something specific, or advice not just "tell me what to buy AND on the cheap"..... Thats a spoon feed Q....

The first sentence which obviously was a joke, I laughed about it. What the hell is a "real jdm drift car"? Second yes I did go off on a random tangent about drifting and spoilers on fwd. Everything I stated about them are 100% accurate, so its not bullshit, just irrelevant to his Q. Which led up to my finishing sentence which stated if he had enough time to read everything i wrote. He had time to google search another thread discussing lowering his car. I did mention tien coil-overs as my best suggestion. Not to mention me telling him to learn how to do his own research is better in the long run for him. Thats "really" pointing him in the correct direction! I never claimed I did know everything, so how do you get off telling me i dont know ****??? Hell maybe I do know twice what you do, so why not be humble... Your being more of a douche then I ever was, your not a MOD so stop trying to moderate.

 

Your post seems to indicate you want to go the cheapest route...and i would highly advise against this unless you don't care about driving a car with a terrible (and probably dangerous) suspension setup that will leave you eating the insides of tires from negative camber and driving on blown struts, bouncing all over the place and looking like a tool.

Suspension modifications are not cheap to do properly (I'd say you could have a good setup for about $700-$1,000, depending on what brands you go with and what features are important to you)...so your first comment about not needing a "pricey name brand or anything" leads me to believe an eBay special suspension setup is on your wish list...please don't do this. Save your money and invest in the proper equipment...get a nice set of springs and struts, replace your bushings, unquestionably get a camber kit, buy a lower tie bar and a frame brace (sway bars) and down the road, upgrade your control arms.

You're going to spend a lot of money on suspension, but it's truly the best money you'll spend on your Prelude...or don't, and have a ricey, bouncy, obnoxious honda to blend into the pack out there that do the same...no reward to that kind of setup besides looking like an idiot.

 

lol e-thugs up in here

 

Depends how low you wanna go if you want a little drop go with the springs I'd go with a good set of coil overs n shocks maybe skunk 2 I got konis on n they ride really nice not bouncy at all and I can adjust height any time I want I'm 2 1/2" in the front and 2@ in the back from stock height looks really good

 

Also got a 5th gen lude btw

 

Koni has an on-going sale on struts/shocks - I beleive through the end of May. they do this every year so if money is tight now, think next year.

I have an '01 SH that I just picked-up the Koni's and Ground Control C/O kit for pretty great prices - under $900 with shipping. Takes a little shopping to find the best prices but so long as the Koni sale is going there are some good prices to be had.

 

you're so cool


makes you sound so intelligent with your paragraph of bs

 

Well nothing I said was bs, and this thread has been gone for a few days. The op hasnt posted once since the original post. So why drag it back up just so you can add your .02 cents? Which I could care less about, it was a joke. If you cant get that then go emo, cut your ****** wrists and die... life isnt fair so go put your huggies pull-ups on and quit crying about a post that wasnt even directed towards you in the first place you ****...

 

Don't cheap out on things like that, buy actual decent brand name stuff, if you are cramped for money go on neuspeed they have fairly decent prices and are reliable. as for Sparksman, there is absolutely no reason at all to mess with a noobie when he has a serious question, he just wanted some help, no reason for you to be a total ***-hat.
