4th Gen Prelude Needs SCCA set up help
Hey guys I am new to racing but not new to automotive. I have a 92 Honda prelude with some mods under the hood, but most of all I need help on what to do with the suspension. It is not an everyday but I want to keep it close to a everyday driver.
I would like to stiffen the car with a roll cage (Bolt in), I have coil over set-up (original springs cut from top put on coil over hardware and Tokiko 5 ways) and it seem to work great for everyday driving feels good. I thinking sway bar good size for the rear so I can create a little oversteer. Need advise for sticky street tire. for 15in wheels. What should I look out for when Playing with the suspension of the vehicle? Get Technical, I have A BS in automotive technology and an AS in Auto Collision. It is much better to learn what not to do with your car from someone rather waste money on trial and era. |

I would recommend against the roll bar. ONe you will loose the back seats and you are worried about it being daily driver, and two it's a little overkill for autocross (weight).
Read my autocross help page: http://home.dejazzd.com/mlouie/autocross.html You can create rotation/oversteer by biasing pressures front and rear.

Re: 4th Gen Prelude Needs SCCA set up help
Well "mods under the hood" doesn't really tell me alot
 And that write up wasn't meant for the newbie in mind. I wrote it because most websites use too much to describe for a novice
