Coilover kit

Post by tincka_3gen » Wed Apr 10, 2013 11:09 pm

Hi,

I'm trying to get a coilover kit for my Prelude ba4, but I can't really find anything. I'm from Slovenia (central Europe) and I have difficulties finding a set. I was looking for something of quality, in the price range of about 700pounds. If the set is really worth the money, I'd consider spending more.
Please, let me know if you have a coilover kit that's very recommendable- and tell me where I can buy it.
Thanks :)

Are these good? They're about the same price as D2 coilovers. Which are better? I also got an offer for Ksport- almost the same price.. Any suggestions as to which I should get?

Quite a few guys have BC's fitted and I've not heard of any problems. They all seemed pretty pleased with them.

Bc/d2 very much the same thing and good for road use, if you want it for the track them I'd deffo be looking at Gaz, they shud be about £450 I think.

Do meisterr make coilovers for the 3rd?
236bhp and 170ft/lb stock :whistle:

No, I just bought a set of MeisterR for my CRX and I also checked for the Prelude- they don't make them unfortunately.. I was really disappointed, I'd buy a second set for the Prelude in a heartbeat :)
I just need them for everyday road use, I have a turboed CRX for track day :P
Thanks for the advice.. I'll try and get a set of BC racing coilovers I guess.. But I really wanted to get an opinion or two regarding these coilovers, because when I searched for some reviews, I found quite a few negative ones..

Ignore them if they're American and haven't tried them first hand ;-) ... They'll knock anything new :roll:

Definitely look into Gaz... I will now I know they already cater for the 3rd gen :)
