Possible front strut alternatives

**Bones** · 12-03-2007, 06:23 PM

I was just surfin' around on ebay and came across this listing for 3G Accord struts.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...spagenameZWDVW

Thinking Prelude struts might fit our cars, I decided to see what sorta high performance struts are being offered for those years of Prelude and came across this listing.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ACURA...spagenameZWD1V

So if 85-91 Prelude front struts fit our cars, and 85-90 Legend struts also fit on a Prelude for those years, the Legend struts should fit our cars as well.

Can anyone confirm this?

No doubt ... but if we can get / mount Koni struts or some other high perforance strut from a 90 Legend or 91 Prelude, I'll be a happy camper.

you can get kyb ss for our car still, apparently. and same for bilsteins, last time i checked. those are both decent quality struts.

The problem with those is that the KYB SS shocks are special order only and the Bilsteins need revalved if ya wanna run any springs other than stock.

I'm hoping that we can get some stiffer, easily available, off-the-shelf struts from a prelude or legend (if they really will fit) that can handle springs with more drop than H&R/Neuspeed. I'm assuming most folks here dont wanna bounce all over the road if they lower their car.

my car does not bouce even with the 1.5 inch drop....the tokico blues are more than enough...if you want high performance sport suspension you will need to do the legendmaster swap...and pay like 1200 for a decent set up.
