Yo Guy's need some help here, i'm forever helping you out with engine questions so don't start flaming me for not searching too hard as you've got so much junk here about suspension.
As you all well know i'm sorted for engine's and gearbox's and i've alos finally found the perfect 3G aerodeck been looking for last 3 years seriously as replacement for one of two increasingly rusty 2nd Gen Ludes. I've found a Polar White 3G Aerodeck Auto (bummer) EXI all options too including working A/C and with only 38k miles and for only $1200 well he wanted $1300 but i'm a good haggler!!
Now i'm still in two minds wether to go all out race and have nothing left inside, or to just have it as a nice car with full interior good light weight stereo with a bit of oomph from B20A and some brake upgrades from my 2G lude with its 300mm disks and 4 pot calipers, i have some 15" wheels allready with new tyres two sets from the ludes and also some Factory Honda wheels 14" which are quite nice from again the 2G B20A lude.
But what i really really need to know is what is the best suspension setup i can get, i'm really looking forward to this as the 2G ludes suspension is really good upfront completely adjustable and the rears are okay but mcpherson strut unlke the 3G Accord which are double wishbone like the front.
Now i want something that i can take round the bends like a train on rails, i don't mind spending the money and if no cost were an option i would certainly be looking at Hot bits but at $3k it's not an optioon at the moment, so short of Hot bits what else is there? So far i can see potentially Bilstein, with H+R springs, Ingalls rear camber kit, Prelude 2G upper arms with camber adjustment have two of these allready, possibly some poly bush's from other Honda's fit?, Sway bar upgrades although not sure which ones are best? I know the DC posrts strut braces are like gold dust but i could probably get something made up if its a worth while mod front and rear maybe is it worth the time and money?
So basically i need people to pitch in and recommend suspenion mods with makes and part numbers of the best stuff thats worth buying. I know Koni's are rocking horse shit now but maybe i might stretch to just height adjustable Hot bits depending on cost, but failing that just recommend a good shock and lowering springs and modding the setup so that it's all adjustable and doesn't have any slack in it.
Thanks Guy's looking real forward to building up this little beauty, i'll try to post pics when i pic the car up next week.
