How low should I go?

Okay, I´ve got an Eibach Pro-Kit and yellow Konis on my 5th gen. It´s lowered about 1.18"(30mm) all around. My question is would it improve handling when I would go even lower with the adjustable Konis [which would mean about 1.96"(50mm) at the front and 1.77"(45mm) at the rear] or should I keep it like it is now?? And would I need a camber kit then?? I´m a bit confused at the moment....

anything greater than a 1.75" drop you should definately invest in a camber kit. personally, i would go lower than what you got right now. and as long as your grip is enough, your handling will improve. no sense in lowering your car to improve handling if you can't get traction. but then, it also looks better lower.

Wouldn´t it become too bouncy when I lower it even more because of the Eibach Pro-Kit? I did a search on it in the last days and most people say that the Pro-Kit is too soft for a "sporty ride". But when I decided to buy a 5th gen I had a look at ntpog.com and somebody highly recommended them there...even for autocrossing. So I´m really confused if I made the wrong decision with the Pro-Kit and stuff.

Uhh.....screw it! I drove my Prelude on different streets with different conditions in the last days and personally I think its suspension is great like it is now!! Actually it also looks much lower than just 1.18" so I´m fine again with that, too.
I had H&R springs and yellow Konis on my old Prelude BB3 (2.0i with about 133hp) and i have to say its handling and traction was worser than with the softer Eibach Pro-Kit I´m using now on my 5th gen.
Maybe the Eibach Pro-Kit has different spring rates over here in germany because of our "TÜV" or it´s because of our streets....I dunno.
Anyways, I think it´s fine like it is now!
