    yea Teins would be on my list also, but the springs rates are not the best for a great street/track. We would still have way too much oversteer like I have now. we need adjustable sway bars esp for the back to help give the car a bit of oversteer or make it neutral. The only other way of doing this with out aftermarkets sway bars now is by making the spring rates in the rear stiffer or softer in the front.
    I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.

    you mean understeer as stock justin? Well i heard they roll up custom spring rate coils. so that would be great. Im also looking into progress group sway bar since they make custom ones too.

    I wanna weigh my car first at all 4 corners and decide on the spring rate.

    leda will make anything you want but it's all custom. they dont stock them for our cars. basically you send them your old stuff and the make you new stuff. i think they quoted my like ~2k. but that was about a year ago.

    hey, listen, right, as far as handling and suspension and steering goes stock hop ups are fine. but if you want the edge, as far back as 3rd gen, the prelude came with a 4 wheel steering model(4ws) back in those days, to save money at the plant, under the fenders and other bolt on parts on the accord and prelude were built off the same platform, mild fabrication might be required, and probably the rear knuckles/spindles would have to be swapped. but, i am working on this project now, i'll let you know how it turns out.

    In Europe u could find an Accord Aerodeck Ca5 with 4WS and ALB. These are Rare, and as far as I know a bit diffrent from Prelude.
    Sedans could not have 4ws


    have a nice ride

    I dont think you're correct on that one P|eszczoH, it was just 4wALB (4 wheel ALB, the name of hondas old ABS systems) which was also an option for the sedans. But I agree that the 4wALB badge could probably easy be confused with a 4ws badge.

    now about springs... I heard Tanabe hand-makes springs for practically all applications, it'd be nice to look into...
