i'm not sure about the new preludes vs. the older ones but i'd take my accord ova the lude in handling any day.. i guess after swapping out my suspension and changing my rims my car rides totally different i cant stand being in a stock 5th gen accord tryn to make turns. i come around a corner at 50+ and make change like nothing and i dont have sway bars nor tie bars on my yet (will soon hopefully they'll make a noticeable difference)
