I searched the forums but couldn't find my answer. It seems the electronically controlled 4WS was really helpful in the 92-93 preludes, but why did they stop?

 

Honestly, I used to own a '93 SI w/ 4ws, and I now own a '93 SR (canadian version of si), but it is not equipped w/ it, and I honestly cannot tell any diffrence at all whatsoever.

 

It made the rear end twitchy and unpredicatable.
Honda replaced it with LSD's which do a better job.

That's what I've heard at least.

You wouldn't notice unless you push your car hard through corners.

 

bad sales

 

The type Ss in Japan still carry all wheel steering in some.

 

It is most noticeable under 18 mph. There is a noticeable difference in my opinion.

Nope, not true. The price for a 4WS Si was too much for what you got. It was pretty much the same price as a VTEC Prelude.

Poor sales is the reason why they got rid of it. Yes, it was still produced in Europe in the 5th Gen.

 

i have an 88 prelude wit 4ws and i can say its alot different than driving like a civic or integra. the steering is so touchy. and it is noticeable when ur trying to make a 3 point turn or u have to turn reali quick, it helps alot. The reason why they stopped is because of poor sales. honestly, i love 4ws, i get comments all the time when i have people sitting in the back and they can actually feel the back end feel like it kicks out. Other than that i wanna see someone try and stick on my ass when i turn a corner doing about 80. LOL

 

The 4ws was real touchy at high speeds, the slightest touch could throw the car off the road. Dodge made a stealth like that once and all it was good for was doing perfect circles.

 

Ah, yes.... the Dodge Stealth R/T and Mitsubishi 3000 GT-S

Those were not bad performance wise, but boy did they have reliability problems.
