    prelude rear wheel suspension

    ok i hoe i dont get flamed for this but back in the day i remember seein a prelude that had rear wheels that turned with the front wheel for example the front wheel turns left rear wheels turn left. ok so i was wondering if this is evern remotely possiable or worth doing with an accord?

    its called 4 wheel steering, and its possible, just might take some money and time, and...oh yeah, money...

    and u mean when the front wheels turn left, the rear wheels turn right

    I read somewhere that in 1988 The 4WS Lude had an equal Nurburgring lap time as a ferrari.. It wouls substantially increase the handling of the car.

    dam @ the ferrari post...it would greatly improve steering/handling, but then again if its gonna be $3,000, u still have to add the suspension work like struts, springs and what-not...it's all up to u...

    Its not just gonna make you park faster. LAWL. It improves the handling of the car by positioning the rear wheels to angle into the turn instead of having them trail

    Re: prelude rear wheel suspension

    you would need the front steering rack along with the a shaft that connects to the rear rack and on top of that you would need the complete rear suspension.

    plus youll probably have the work the floorpan of the car to fit all these components

    possible yes but you can buy a prelude for less money and turbo the b20 that comes with it.

    welll if you dump alot of money into suspension it would outhandle the lude...so far i have dumped close to 900 bucks....also tires and rims make the car handle since its the only parts touching the ground.

    first look at the car....is it worth it to dump alot of money.....if its a rust bucket maybe not. also you can get suspension parts online and it could be changed if you have a parts store that have a lend a tool program...like spring compressor...ball joint seperator. most of the stuff is on ebay. you should start reading the stickys on top of the suspension section.

    Yeah I know . Thats why i said rework the floorpan. because you would need the whole rear subframe to bolt up to the accord. I was just being general but it is a very involved system just like the old civic minivan type car with AWD very involved compared to regular suspension setups.

    if you are worried about where to buy....online is usually the best bet which you have access to so you are good to go.

    Re: prelude rear wheel suspension

    ok couldnt i just cut my chassis and integrate the rear part of the lude to it? like i have seen this done before then all i would have to do is extend all the lude stuff and i think i should be good right? correct me if im wrong the prelude is wider then the accord right? so i would have to cut and weld the lude chassis to be more narrow?

    if you want an accord with 4ws, just source a jdm 4g that has it. they look reasonably close to our cars and it'd probably be much safer being from the factory than having you do it yourself. not to mention the time and pain you saved yourself.
