k-mac is ur frend bro
i had mine done at ozzy tyres and they fitted kmac springs i wanted, you can get any height and whatever you do do not go with king springs because they dont lower the car that much:D

thanks i'll look into the k-mac products. coilovers are a possibility too i'll keep my eyes out and get some prices together as i'm willing to spend the right money for the right gear. what kind of setup's are you people using?

eiback prokit springs and koni yellow shocks... one of the best combos for 5th gen that u can get from what i know. I think its about 1.5-2 inch drop aswel

Some set up eg different springs and shock might not match up right, plus your also playing about $1k for it, might as well pay alittle extra and get coilover where they are design to work together, plus you get height and damper adjustable
just my experience

wow i was about to post a topic regarding springs.

I have 2.25" and 2.5" at the moment on my prelude. I was wondering if I can go 3.5" or 3" and if anyone has any experience with them out there?

im worried about stuffing up the cars suspension.. :o
