Colour of those wheels goes well with the colour of the car, Imo.

Methinks so too

Very happy with how they turned out.

What suspension are you running?

As far as I know, it's got Eibach lowering springs on it. I'm shortly to replace these with some Skunk2 adjustable springs. I think the rest of the suspension is stock. She sits way too low for me, and keeps scraping on the smallest of bumps. I'll raise her just a touch with the Skunk2 springs, and then get the alignment add camber sorted out, as I don't think it's been set since she was originally lowered.

The general view on here is that these things are a bad idea...

Ride is fricken rock solid and bone jarring at the moment - surely nothing can be worse than that. Why are the Skunk2 springs a bad idea ? any suggestions on what to use instead that will raise the Prelude a little and not break the bank ?

Eibachs on Oem shocks shouldn't ride like that I don't think - no-one else on here has complained of similar? (In fact, the opposite!)

Have your eibachs been cut? Or the shocks failed? Or they perhaps hot eibachs in the first place and are just Oem springs that have been cut???

No idea to any of your questions

The car came with the springs, and I have been told they are Eibach. Dunno if genuine or not. Not looked at shocks (or know what to look for) so don't know if shocks have failed or not. To be honest, I would not be surprised if shocks are completely dead, as it certainly feels like there is no suspension whatsoever when going over the smallest bump or uneven road surface

Can you post some pics of the shocks/springs? We should be able to advise then.
Ideally with the wheel off
