H&R Sport Springs... it's a good drop with about 2 finger gap and doesn't change the ride of car (keeping the stock struts).

Keep in mind a brand that works on one type of car, might not work for another. (i.e: Tokicos are the greatest for 4th and 5th gen Preludes but they are decent for Civics and Integras).

Seriously shut the hell up about that its getting old and annoying, my car is lowered, just like AJ said put it next to a stock lude you can see the difference. Its not much of a difference because I dont like St. Louis roads and my paint is too pretty to mess anything up.

Here is a STOCK lowered prelude

here is mine, quite a bit of a difference to me

yep thats 2 fingers, oh and my hands are small

Shut the hell up? :rolleyes: Nice and mature response.

Seriously, I was kidding... hence the ':P'

BTW, if you kept the stock size tires on those S2000 rims then you tires are .8" too tall which would explain why you would have less of a gap compared to a stock Prelude. Basically you are not comparing apples to apples. But what do I care if you are lowered, not lowered, slammed or whatever.

AFAIK know AJ, Omni Power does not make coilovers for the Prelude and they are not extremely pricey either. Let I said, the results can vary from manfacturer for each chassis. So you can't just say 'KYBs make the best struts for all cars...' It's the same for any car part (tires, brakes, exhaust, etc).

BTW, stock Prelude ->

Stephanie's car (last I saw) ->

Is it lowered? Yes of course... by much? Not in my books. Does it matter? No. Do I care? No.

I say the same thing...Also with good tread on my stock sh wheels I had a 2 finger gap. So im not sure what you are trying to get at here. When I stop by my parents house I will find that picture just for you.

Ahhh... want to keep this up eh? Okie... I'm game if you are.

IF you are using the stock S2000 tire size, which is a 205 55 16 and 255 50 16 tire, then that would be 24.9" in overall diameter where the stock size of the Prelude is 205 50 16 which is 24.1" in diameter which means your gearing is off causing your speedometer to give you the wrong reading. As well my point was that having a larger tire diameter results in less wheel gap since your diameter is .8" too big. Get it now?

Before you go balistic again... take a deep breathe and read the first word of that paragraph... -> IF <-

BTW, don't bother finding or posting any pictures just for me. Like I said, I don't care how high or low you are.

If you dont care then quit making comments, seriously its as simple as that. I am lowered thats it, whether its a 3 inch drop or a .089 drop ITS being lowered.

I thought I already said I agreed it was lowered...

So what are you still complaining about? Got some thin skin I take it eh Stephanie?
