Tokico Illuminas (4/3 settings F/R)
440/300# springs
New OEM ball joints in front
Stock bushings
205/55 16s (RSXs)
Prelude 5 lug setup all around.
ALIGNMENT (-1 degree camber at all 4 corners)
Pros: Finally got an alignment and was able to push the car a little bit yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised! Car is at a height that is low enough for perfect negative camber all around. During long sweepers the handling is predictable, even with midcorner bumps. Steering feedback is so-so. It's a car that definitely rewards being driven fast and hard over tooling around. Very rewarding!
Cons: I thought the shocks were blown but really all it is is the awful BK roads. Damn near any lowered car will have a hard time here... esp one with damn near 200K miles. Also, Prelude brakes are an upgrade up to like 50% driving, but I finally got the brakes to cook and the pedal to go soft yesterday. I almost wish I had kept the 17s and BBK, but this setup is OK 80% of the time.
If I were to spend any more money on this heap, I would get Brembo blanks, Sumitumo HTRs or that level tire, and maybe ES bushings for the LBJs and tie rod ends. Also maybe an UBJ camber kit. Car is fun though! Almost wish I could track it.
