Just added a cheaper option to that thread as well ;-)

The price is more appealing than I remember, but maybe I was just weighing them up against the prices of basic lowering springs at the time :lol:

I've never run either brands, so I couldn't say from personnal experience, but the D2/BC's aren't to be ruled out that's for sure.

Haha yeah :) £650 would already be a huge stretch, as I only spent £800 on the car haha (though that was very cheap!), and going by various reviews of the BCs on other cars, sounds like I can't go wrong with them.

Or

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Prelude-8 ... 0874721630

So £625 before shipping and custom charges/VAT (So probably add another £200-£250).

Or

http://www.ksport.co.uk/order.asp?id=184&loc=1

S0 £709.79 plus shipping from a UK dealer.
You must have missed my recent post lamenting their customer service sklls... :?
The UK dealer doesn't do suspension anymore, only brakes. They're just too crap to remove the pages off their website, only the links off the front page :tosser:

I contacted the ebay seller about the BC setup and he's just old me they go down to about 100mm, which should be more than enough :)

After contacting BC, it turns out the BR series coilovers will not fit the 4WS version, but the V1 series will. (I'm not sure why - can't imagine what the difference is)
