Brands confusion!!

[Li0nHe4rt]

Im currently trying to pimp out the handling of my 99 lude, so was wondering wat brands are good and worth the money. atm im looking for:

- front and rear strut bars
- Front and rear sway bars
- Tower strut
- Pads
- rotors
- Springs and shocks ( im told kyb agx + ground control coilovers = win )

Also in the market for some new wheels, what kind of wheels would look awesome with a white bb6? Ive browsed through most of the pictures and all and still dont have a solid choice. Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

get everything whiteline, good bang for buck,

and for spring and shocks, i dont know who makes bb6 coilovers, but try skunk2 or yeah kyb agx shock and spoon progressive spring ?

i second whitline for the sways and struts, good gear

for the pads up-spec Bendix pads are good ones and slotted rotors from RDA or DBA will do you

kyb agx shocks are brilliant, couple that with a good quality progressive spring and you'll be laughing

oh yeah the wheels! i personally love black wheels on a white 5th gen

From eveyrones views, i see that the kyb agx + gc springs are a great option. Sweet ill order them in asap!

However, regarding the struts some people, say spoon, others cusco, neuspeed. So im not so sure. Is whiteline better than these in terms of quality for its price?

[hisoka]

were u located, get second hand brand name struts like JIC or cusco, works out cheaper. and same shiet.

if you in brisbane get JIC, the distributor is here, and its cheap and pro quality

[Li0nHe4rt]

Nah im in sydney, The guys at jdmyard, have the front and rear cusco set for $520. is that worth it?

[hisoka]

is that posted lol damnn is that how much struts are.

get second hand if ure on budget. i would get second hand anyway. you could pick up a whole set of cusco second hand for like 300 bucks or so less maybe.

[Li0nHe4rt]

Nah i can afford it, but i just want whats best for my money. JDMyard does seem expensive, but is one of the best places to get honda parts...btw is 550 for injen CAI, and 800 for fujitsubo headers for the bb6 expensive?

nah mate get whatever brand you can find cheapest, or like the other guy was saying second hand. it really doesnt matter which brand coz its just a bar, BUT DO NOT CHEAP OUT AND ORDER SOME EBAY NO NAME CRAP

i personally have a neuspeed front strut bar and its fantastic and very strong, probably the best design for the preludes IMO as it has no connecting base plate, the bar is joined straight the the strut tower. Many people also have the same bar as it seems to be one of the few companies that actually make a strut bar for the prelude

whiteline is just easy to find, good quality and pretty cheap is all. Shelling out 500 bucks for a bar coz its got a spoon sitcker on it is just stupid.

Yeh i was leaning towards the neuspeed, more people suggested that anyway. What abt the sways thou? go wif neuspeed as well? Are there any neuspeed dealers in the Sydney area?

everybody i know runs whiteline swaybars
a 3rd gen prelude, 3 wrx's and even an old cortina and everyone is happy with the performance

so i'd recommend a whiteline adjustable rear swaybar, not that theres anything wrong with the neuspeed stuff, i think its just cheaper to go whiteline (i stress i think)

520 for the cusco struts is allright and its also quality gear, but theres cheaper stuff to be had. For example i got my front strut for 100 bucks.
If you have the money and its no problem then go for it but you can save some money is all im saying

yeh i get what your saying. ill go with neuspeed strut and whiteline sways. ALso about the gc springs, are they stiff? does it make the ride more bumpy? i read that on like #4 damper setting its soft, but still stiffer than stocks. So will the ride still be comfortable as so that i dont feel every bump in the road?
