I had Skunk2 Springs and Tokico HP shocks, loved the drop and it rode like stock.

People always recommend Koni Yellows though, they are extremely nice but pricey.

Im thinking I just might get coilovers and forget picking a spring/shock combo. Is the Tein basic coilover system worth a shot? Do you need any camber adjustment kits when adding coilovers?

Koni shocks are the best shocks for the Prelude. Nice color...that one is rare.

That looks like Eucalyptus Green Pearl to me, and that's definately not rare.

Just curious, u say you bought it from a dealer?
How much did you pay, and what is the mileage?

I just got my 97 prelude SH, Red (new paint job) black leather interior, carbon fiber trim, tinted windows...
I'm keeping the suspension stock, it has to be one of the best handling stock cars I've ever driven... It already has 16's stock, and I like the way they look.
Besides, I've had enough of 17's with 40 series tires on an aftermarket suspension. It sucks ass to drive everyday with...
Oh well, that's why I got my Turbo EG to play with on the weekends

I got it back in 2002 from a toyota dealer. Single Air Force guy traded it in for a camry. It was 14995 with 25000 miles on it, immaculate condition and they threw on a spoiler for me for no extra charge.
