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
this guys got the idea. but yeah lol 520 for cusco struts as soon as you sell them there worth like 100 bucks each.
struts drop like half price as soon as you open the packet, then another 50 bucks when u install the bastards.

^lol hisoka's spot on with parts depreciation
in regards to the GC springs, personally i have no experience with them so i cant really comment, how much lower are they than stock, coz as a general rule lower means bumpier.
but seeing as your getting adjustable shock absorbers, you can set them soft and get a great ride anyway (then stiffen them up when you wanna go fast), youll definately be happy with them coming from decade old stock shocks

lol sweet as. thanks for your help, both you guys. really cleared things up for me! ill let you's know how it goes when ive got it all in.
oo ALso another thing, ive been in the market for some wheels and im look for the dc5 typeS 17"s i recon they look awesome on the lude as shown in the pic. do you's know roughly how much the set is, knowing honda dealers, they'll charge what i call their crazy "honda tax". ALso in the pic, notice the side skirt. Its not as flary as the wwrs skirt, but bigger than the stock. I have the front lip so i want that skirt to even out the look of the clearance. do you know what skirt that is?

pm him and ask him. but those honda rims can be anywere from 500 bucks to 1000 or even more. iam not sure as i dont own dc5, but i got accord and the sports version rims are like 1000 bucks or less second hand so yeah . look on parts for sale some guy was selling them in brisbane i think
but nice choice in wheels, your on good path lol~

thats peejays car^
his sideskirt is the OEM lip kit, i have the same kit
as for the wheels, they look great and for gods sake dont go through honda, youll have to look around on ebay and some forums and hopefully youll find a set. What size wheel are you looking for? the ATTS Prelude wheels are imo very nice but theyre 16". Just a thought

awesome, do you know any where i can buy it in nsw? prob at like jap spare shops aye?
-
lol if it ends up being 1000 bucks, ask a import wrecker to bring you in jdm dc5 wheels lol.
-
^theyre really nice
yeah if you wanna find those dc5 wheels at a shop your best bet is Honda specialists, im not a local to NSW so i dont know any up there. But scour the internet too, its the best way to find stuff.
the lip kit is the same deal, it can also be gotten through honda but you'll have to sell your sole and that of your childrens too :P
you said you had a front lip? is it the OEM one or another type of lip coz most people have a full OEM kit if they have it (front, side and rear skirts) as it was a dealer option when new.
-
nah i bought the car wif the mugen replica front bumper. and i replaced it coz it was trashed. So I bought the front bumper from the jap spares and it came wif the front lip. too bad i didnt buy the rest of the kit while i was at it.. = (...but one thing that was good was that i got the other grill with the prelude tag on it. Love that grill, no ludes in my extended area carry the grill so i feel special 
btw, the Honda specialists. is that the site? tried googling it but comes up wif nothing.
-
haha damn you! people flog that grille for like 250bucks it quite sought after!
yeah jsut get the rest of the OEM kit man, its really nice, especially the rear lip, it give it a real fat stance from behind
-
really 250?! the jap spare shop in my area always getss bb6 parts in and they sold the grill for abt 80, i got mine for 70!........hmmm...(money making opportunity????) lol.
Yeh i like the kit but to me it seems like the rear lip doesnt look like it fits well on the white ludes. Like there is a very noticable like between the lip and the rest of the bumper. It looks like it doesnt really belong. Like below. is that how it normally looks?
what about this rear under spoiler? looks like it fits better.... i dont know lol

i think the kit in that picture looks abit big because theres not boot spoiler and its been cleanly badged so theres a large expanse of white.
honestly i think it looks good, better than the way the stock bumper suddenly drops away
this is mine just for comparison:
