Hi guys, I'm looking for a set of coilovers, or shocks and lowering springs for my 5g prelude.

Cheers for the tag newkid

The set of polybushed Konis with lowering springs i have is for a 4th gen - not entirely sure if it would be ideally suited for a 5th gen - is there a difference in how much the you lower the rear between gens

Ive still to fit the front springs but have the rears fully built up as you know.

No difference. 4th and 5th are interchangeable.

including the top hats? The rears on the 4th gen are two stud and fronts are 3 stud
is its only the type s 5th gen that has 4 studs on the fronts.....

Yeah the 4th and 5th are the same.

JDM 5ths have the 5 stud front top hats, but all UK 5th gens have the holes. 3 stud front top hats fit all 4th and 5th gens.

Hi vanzep! And thanks for your help guys, regarding fitment, that would have been my first question! haha. how much are you wanting for them?

I think they are 30-35mm lowering springs but i will check and let you know.
I hadnt planned on putting them up for sale just yet as ive still to get the front shocks built up.
They are in very good working order and have been uprated with energy suspension poly bushes all round.
Give me a few days and i will get some pics up.

I havent thought on a price but will drop you a pm once ive totalled up the costs.

How soon are you needing them?

Here are a couple of pics of one of the rear shocks fully built up.

Will give you a shout when i get them finished.
