| the most common set up for 5th gens from what i see on most lude forums is H&R springs and Koni Yellows. I have the H&Rs im just trying to source a set of konis. |
|
|
| bearinalude |
| i'm currently riding on H&Rs as well, within your options i'd probably go with the teins. i don't reallie like any cars goin below 1.5, and having the front a bit lower than the rear looks better. jus my two cents :thumbup: |

| im ridin tein, i love em, now all i need are some god like struts, anyone know a good name? |
|
|
| 92_WhItE_H23 |
| Tokiko or Koni. Tein if your blood has gold in it. BB6SE had Tein springs on his lude i believe and it was the nicest drop ive seen on a lude i think. |

s-tech is probably best bang for your buck no doubt.
h&r if you want to spend a little more and have a bit stiffer spring. i believe tein's ride similar to stock. just a little stiffer.
as for shocks, go kyb agx or if you can spend more koni yellow for sure. kyb's are only good to about a 1.5" drop though. koni's can handle more/ they ride nicer. both are adjustable. im looking at s-tech springs and kyb agx shocks. 700 for everything tax-in brand new. |

I'm riding on Tein S-Tech and Tokico Illumina's. Drop is perfect, handling is MUCH better but I could go for some stiffer springs.
I am going to upgrade to GC Coilovers w/ Illumina's |
|
|
| 2ndgenlude |
i was thinking about GC's.
anyone know who carries them and how much they are?
see how price compares to springs. |

order them factory direct with the spring rates you want. don't order them through anyone. |

I have tein ha coilovers. Love them...
If I were to just get lowering springs, I'd get the tein s-tech.
For a spring/strut combo, H&R sport w/ Koni yellows... |
|
|
| 2ndgenlude |
what spring lowers more? h&r sport or the s-techs? h&r race too low?
im also looking at neuspeed sports.
GC coilovers look pretty good too. damn this is a hard decision haha. |

im debating between the neuspeeds and the eibachs..
all depends on how much i want to drop it really.. i'll do some measurements and see where i'll be riding at with each..
ive heard some bad things about h&r's.. the fact that the rear end tends to sroop alot after a week or two..
but thats more common on different cars.. i hear they are fine on preludes..
anyways..
i was going to ask.. if i want my 17's flush with my wheel well..
how much of a drop is that roughly? cause thats exactly what i want.. (i'll be on stock struts for a while.. but will upgrade to koni yellows at a later date) |
|
|
| 2ndgenlude |
to be flush your probably looking for a 1.75 inch drop about.
bad news for stock struts. next week im just going to go all out and buy the strut/spring combo and do it right the 1st time.
probably won't install them until its nice out though. |
|
|
| 4thGenLude |
how long do you think the stock struts will last on a 1.75'' drop?
i might just save up so that the time spring comes.. i'll have the complete combo..
but so many other things to spend money on too:(
money pit |

|
| 98_Prelude |
on my lude i got the s tech on stock struts they were out on at 150xxx n they were good up intill about 200xxx thats when i seen some more than average wear...but thats my car everyone is differnt
i just got an ATTS emblem...its so nice though i'd add that |
|
|
| Rich_A |
| completely worth it. grab em! |
|
|
| 2ndgenlude |
| im going to try to find them locally, i hate buying off of e-gay. but i will if i have to haha. |
|
|
| 92_WhItE_H23 |
| what the shit..thats pretty local considering your saving about 400 bucks.. you can pay for the shipping and still save an assload..theres gotta be a catch in there somewhere... thats like 1100 new in any shop in edmonton |
|
|
| 2ndgenlude |
| transform wants 1100 for basic, 1500 for ss, and 2200 for flex :eek: |
|
|
| 2ndgenlude |
| im going with the superstreet coilovers. are the pillowball mounts worth it? i don't plan on using edfc. |
|
|
| mike3 |
| Im hoping to be riding on FLEX by spring. I got an awesome quote from SpeedTech. |
