    Oh yeah don't get me started buddy!:lol

    As far as the cutting and the camber. I'm not a fan of either, but don't see a point in saying anything against it since he only plans to do it for a year.

    I will have my air ride by May so not even a year. The car rides exactly like stock right now. I honestly can't tell the difference, even on big bumps. I don't care about better handling, I just can't live with the humongous gap that it had with the prelude wheels. I am not a performance guy, if I were I wouldn't waste my time or money on a Honda.

    Didn't mean for my comment to make you feel you needed to reply chris. But it does beg the question, what's wrong with a honda when it comes to performance and suspension? And along that line of thought what would you get instead? I hope you answer isn't going to be expensive.

    I don't have anything I would get instead. I just don't care about performance other than being able to take a corner or two over the speed limit once in a while. I don't go out and push the limits. I did all that when I was younger.
    If I really wanted the thrill of carving mountain roads or being at the edge of traction all the time I would be buying a motorbike and riding the go-carts more often. That is good enough for me.
    There is nothing wrong with Honda's suspension, I just would definitely prefer rear wheel drive, like an MR2, Supra, AE86, Celica All-trac (AWD) or even something that would be a true project like a Fiero with a GN engine or a Porsche 944 or 914.

    :super: Amen brother I fully respect where your comming from.
    I'd prefer RWD. I also would like a AWD system as long as it didn't have terminal understeer at the limit.

    i don't want to sound like some poser little kid, but i appreciate that you are a lowrider, not a performance guy. i used to have a whole 1 pump set up picked out for my car that i was dead set on buying, but i guess i just decided i like going fast rather than looking cool. if only my car actually were fast. but i still have a little lowrider magazine logo in the corner of the back window.
