why would you want a air ride on a prelude? just get a good suspension for way less, plus u wont add as much weight to it.

 

i dont think he cares about weight...look at his sub set up

 

i think it would look awsome if you just want a show car. My friends have them and some ride so bad but if you want to pay they have really nice ones

the rear end look nuts on the floor but not two crazy about the front bumper

 

i have been looking at vip cars two much and i just want the slamed look i have the eibach pro kit the car handles great but its never gona be fast enough for me but it will ALWAYS look great, i have a nother car i am "trying to make fast" 1987 dodge conquest tsi i paid $250 for it:razz:

 

that lude looks like crap IMO. interior looks cheap with that stick on cabon look too.

 

I don't know why everybody bashes airbags. There have been multiple shows on television, and magazines that tested 'bagged cars against "modded" factory susp. Airbags always get better numbers and responses from the drivers, plus ya get to dump it in the weeds when ya park it-and you don't have to worry about rippin' your front lip off on a speed bump! of course I've had hydraulics or bags on every car I owned-except the lude... so far!

 

i remember that episode, however, i dont believe the air suspension they were using was the typical air ride. I believe it was geared more towards the enthusiast.

 

air bags rule i coulnt bring myself to do them to a lude but im pretty sure we cut the heck outta my accord lol ill post some pics when i get a chance

 

dont do that to a prelude... jeez

 

ive thought about this a lot. i think itd be sick. you could still keep the stability enough to get on it here and there. sure, it wouldnt be a race car, but who the fuck ever thought their lude would be??? its one heavy ass, shitty weight distributed, long nosed, mother fucker. it really just has a good motor for swaps, and looks pretty. so why not go and get a clean ass jdm look, then bag it??? i think itd be awesome, and functional. i guess it all depends on your tastes. i say do it!!!

 

How the fuck do you consider the 5g heavy? Compare it to all the other cars and its light. Look at the mustangs! 3300 pounds...The Acura line is all heavier then our ludes. The only cars that are lighter is the civics!

 

Everybody has their own opinion. I say if you love your car, thats all that matters. You work for the money, you spend it how you want to, kudos to those who do it even though they know that they will get hated on from their "peers" for the sake of their own happiness

 

Yeah, it was on horsepower TV a few weeks ago-they took the same exact cars around the track with and without bags and the times were a lot lower w/ the bags. I believe it was the air ride technologies setup w/ the self leveling sensors. So I take it Airrunner makes a kit for our cars? I'm in the process of taking the system out of my trunk to make room for the 'bags right now- stereo goes in the useless back seat!

 

just my $.02, but dont waste a prelude on it. or at least go waste an auto lude. I agree, everyone has their own opinion but IMO preludes are performace cars. Airbag cars are mid 1990's chevy S10's.
but again. just my $.02

 

Good thing I have a "less worthy" auto lude, huh? Auto basher! And I thought s-10 were trucks?

 

and ludes are anchors. not performance. no 3000 lbs. car powered by a 4 banger is performance. its sporty. or to your girlfriend its cute. but by no means is it
'performance'. sorry to break it to ya. but i mean, the civic could perform better than the lude. buck for buck. straight line or bends.

 

That's funny, because my bone stock 'lude spanks the hell out of civics in the straights and twisties around here-maybe just bad drivers?

 

We have one in Poland as well http://hondaprelude.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11903&highlight=air+ride

 

you don't need bags to slam a car, but you just sacrifise comfort and practicality. but don't waist a lude on it it's not worth the money, buy some coil overs if you want to slam it one day and go to the trakc the next day.

 

airbags.........:thumpdown:

 

kinda heavy? seriously though i understand where hes coming from saying its not that heavy compared to mustangs but look at how much more power they have. then find the weight to power ratio and they have a higher one so all in all ludes are extremely heavy for the power they have and for being front wheel drive.

 

If you want to compare the newer mustangs they have more power. But the ones around the prelude preduction? Those suck ass. I was keeping up and slightly gaining on a 99 GT. So much for power, eh? And its 2882 pounds without ATTS. I dont consider that heavy considering preludes have 200 horsepower and a lot of cars today dont even have that much. Hell I look down my block and I am safe to say only 2 out of the 30 cars there are faster! 1 Being the WRX and the other being the 350Z

if i were to get any thing it would prob be this kit

 

i dont think a prelude has 200 horse that number is at the flywheel its more like 180 at the wheels preludes are quick not fast

my other car is 1987 dodge conquest 2.6 L sohc turbo intercooled and it has 185 horse at the wheels with full leather int, stagered wheels, stock front mount, oil cooler power steering all that from 1987 way before its time

 

Who said whp? Im talking about the manufactured specifications. And 195 its close enough.

 

Easy Street is made by Air Lift Tech. Those guys make some of the best sh*t. I came from the mini truck scene and have been running Air Lift products since the company started in the mini truck scene. I "beta" tested some of their products before they were available. And even then, I never had a problem. The company is a stone throw from my house. If they give you any hassle let me know.

i dont think a prelude has 200 horse that number is at the flywheel its more like 180 at the wheels preludes are quick not fast

I don't understand your definitions of quick and fast. Because in my opinion, the 5th gen prelude is fast, not quick. It will do 130 or more with no problem. But racing someone in the quarter... You might as well forget it.

 

quick=135-145
fast=160+

thanks for the info on easy street i thought they were a no name company
