5th Gen Preludes...Suspension?!?!...Whats different?
I've been looking for kits like Tokico Or Koni Shocks and they all say "Excluding SH"
I don't have a manual since it's my friends ride and he's based up in Colorado....But he will be back soon.
What is the difference?
I see Tanabe Coilovers will fit all 97-01's but why won't Tokico fit the SH?

To make this really simple-the SH is unique. It has ATTS and the other 2 models don't. This setup is very different in front from its brothers. The springs, Upper CA locations and shocks are not the same and in fact the springs and shocks have different part numners from side to side. You want more-the radius rods and front sway bar links are different too. This has been one reason that many manufacturers have chosen to work on the Base model cars only. Neuspeed and Eibach claim that their "sport" or "Prokit" springs may work properly on the stock shocks. There are several alternative installs available for the SH-but they will be more costly to do. BTW: The rear of all 3 models is identical. Get used to the fact that the SH is what it is.
