Looking at the rear my guess is either the top arm is bent or the hub is bent, the bit that runs up past the tyre to the top arm

. It would seem that the lude's suspension components are made of cheese

As I've just noticed that I've got something bent on the front of my lude

. And welcome in

UPDATE: Today I took my car to my friends shop, he noticed that the LEFT side (My driver side) spring is compressed more then my RIGHT side (My passenger side), I will be replacing the front shocks and springs aswell as my tie rod ends while I'm at it. Thanks eeryone

I live in Canada, in the only province where underglow is legal. I installed the LEDGlow set which came with the interior lighting, I personally enjoy the subtle glow inside.

Ah. Fair enough

(I enjoy the subtle glow inside I get from curry)

Good luck with the geometry.

I have ordered these today Stagg 4 shocks and springs from eBay. For a fair price of 415$ shipped, with my minimal driving and excellent roads where I live they should be a fine addition.
(Also I know I stated earlier I had no plans on lowering my prelude, I went with a 1 inch drop both front and rear.

And it's started. You are officially infected. Next mods will come quicker then you will even expect

I've already done the lambo doors and lots of custom lights. Aswell as my sound system upgrades. Saving up for a body kit along with body work and a new paint job.

next weekend I should have my shocks to put in to, then finally get my 18's mounted!! ^.^ I can hardly wait gents

I was going to suggest possible knackered shock/spring, but I'm too late!

... So I'll just welcome you too the club instead

Actually can you post up some decent side shots of the whole car so we can compare drops?

lambo doors - you're probably the only one having them on our forum
lots of custom lights - this doesn't count

sound system upgrades - I would like to see it. Tell some more about and pics please. I like good sound systems so you can be my inspiration for boot build, which I have in my plans
body kit along with body work and a new paint job - this is what we like. What's your plan? Have you already bought bits and pieces and what's your colour choice?

Show us more, bud. We love pics!!!

When I get my shocks and springs delivered and put in my car I will take a few good pictures for you! Cheers mate

@KD30DPC - I have two 10 inch subs and two 8 inch subs in my trunk powered by a Pyle Power 4000 watt amp, and all 4 speakers around the car have been replaced with clarion speakers powered by a 600watt sony amp. I have a second battery in the trunk, where my spare tire should be. I have CAA so if I ever do have a problem on the road I have road side assistance.

Also for the body work I have minor rust on the rear quarter panels and around the trunk key hole, other then that the rockers are in excellent shape so its minimal repair to prep for paint.
I have had two main colour choices in mind but cannot make a choice to which I will pick, either a dark but not to dark gun metal grey, or a vibrant green (lime greenish colour is my fav) my interior lighting is all a lime green glow, so if I do a lime green paint it will likely take away some affects of my lights (green on green won't look that fancy) where as gun metal grey will give a good contrast to my lights!

Here is a link to my photo bucket website to look at some pictures if you so desire.
