i bought these used Mugen suspension, just wondering if anyone of you out there have experience or have an idea how to adjust the shocks, i had tokico illumina b4, and to adjust that i think i had a red lil vavle that i put on to move it from 1-5, i didnt get anything with this setup, but i see something similar on top, i was wondering if i were to play with it which way would you guys think its to make it harder?? i jjust want a stiffer ride... here are some pics

 

I don't believe the Mugen/Showa setup is adjustable at all. If it was you can be certain they'd cost 2 grand or more, since they say Mugen on them.

 

all and all, nice suspension upgrade

 

you got those on ebay rite? i saw an auction on ebay with those exact same pictures

 

first 2 i took it my self.. used the last one and yes got them off ebay

 

Mugen suspension for 5th gen Prelude is not adjustable at all and Mugen doesn't make any adjustable suspension for any Prelude as far as I know.

 

Yep non adjustable, but a very sweet setup regardless!

 

Yea they are pretty good suspension. Good ride quality and handles pretty well but it's not that low, that's what I don't like about it.

 

Yeah, what they said - Non-adjustable. If you want a stiff suspension, the Mugen Showa kit for the Prelude is probably not for you. It's a street "sport" suspension that is about 30% firmer than stock in spring rates and valving and lowers the car about 1 inch. It's very well tuned and balanced from what I've heard; but if you wanted a super stiff race-ready suspension, this is not it.

damn james u still on honda tech? haha i thought disappeared from here... anyway i haven't seen your lude in a while? where's it hiding?

 

There was an adjustable mugen suspension kit for the ba8/9 and bb1/4. The springs were OE height, but the shocks were adjustable. The spring rates were also increased from 3.1kg/mm to 3.6kg/mm in the rear, and from 3.6kg/mm to 4.3kg/mm in the rear. There were 3 settings, soft, medium, and hard. If you have the part number, I can probably tell you which ones those are.

50000-XG6-KOSO, thats the part number i think, thanks

 

The part # for the variable suspension kit is 50000-XG6-K1S0 , the number you gave me is the part number for the "Sport Sus Kit". It's the spring shock combo.
