Hey all, I am about to get some H&R Sports (if AndyD replies my emails). I want to confirm that these springs are ok for a daily driver. Some people have commmented that the 4g Prelude is already so low. I dont want to bottom out easily. PLease express any concerns with this. I really would like to get progressive springs. What is probably the ideal height in a 4g lude for everyday purposes but still loooks and handles well?

the H&R's sprots give the car an agressive drop, not so much as of the Race...
if youre so worried about being too low, get coilovers

 

will i have problems bottoming out with this though?

 

so do any of you who have lowered 4th gens about 1.5in ever have truoble getting around urban areas?

 

you shouldnt
just take it easy, and angle over everything
youll be fine

 

i had my lude was lowered 2" all around with progress springs. The springs sucked cause they were on factory struts. The ride was rough. But it looked nice. I had no problems getting around. My only problem was with my body kit. If you have a kit i would so no way...but if you are factory as far as appearance i would say progress would be fine. I am riding on H&R race springs. They lower 1.9" in the front and 1.6" in the rear. This looks better than an even drop cause the 4th gen ludes sit a bit higher in the front. I have yet to bottom out or anything. It gives a great, aggressive appearance. Good ride quality with after market struts. I did not have to get a camber kit with my set up, i only had to adjust toe. My alignment chart stayed in the green.

 

I am only doing h&r sports. I really cannot afford to shocks to right now. Would you not get the sporings if you were going to be on stock shocks?

 

you can ride on stock shocks.. Not the best but you can.

 

i got neuspeed sport and as i heard they are the same as H&R sport, made in germany and **** like that, i dont like the ride because its on stock shocks, but the drop looks good with stock wheels, i wanted to go lower but didnt had money to pay for shocks and camber kit, and youll be fine with H&R sports and stock shox as long as u take it easy , its not even THAT low

 

how bad will it be though? I dont mind some roughness, but i dont want the car bouncin all over the place

 

its not bouncy at all , rides just about like stock, i thing eibach springs are pretty good, i had them on my eclipse and they rode awesome

 

yeah but eibachs tend to keep settling over time, past what they are originally suppose to lower the car.

 

heres my ****

 

how much is it lowered?

 

so neuspeed springs suck? i thought they were supposed to be good quality ride.. damn i'm about to get some new (race) ones for $130- should i not get them?

 

H&R and Neuspeed springs are different from what I've known - the springrates differ between the two companies. IMO, H&R's are better than Neuspeed.

I have H&R Sports on my 3rd gen Prelude, and I absolutely love them. They are great for a daily driving, as well as some spirited driving... if it's a near track-only car, Race springs would be better.

 

my neuspeed sport lower 1.75F / 1.5R, id get H&R race(1.9F / 1.6R) over the neuspeed race(2.25F / 2.0R), dont forget to get some shocks too

 

Do you know the springrates on all those?

And I think shocks are obvious, even if it's only Tokico Blues.

 

i dont

 

do you think i will have a really bouncy ride with the H&Rs if i use the stock shocks?

 

no meng ull be just fine, go for it
