    Probably going to the track in feb, so i'll see how she goes then make my decision.

    The prelude is lowered 2" and on 17's... It is on rails around corners! Just hasn't got the balls i want these days.
    I have heard the H&R's are very good. You could also try to get some Eibach's. Or a cheaper option is some Kings. I have Pedders in mine (which are the same as the Kings) and they do a great job.

    Hi and welcome to the site. Hope you enjoy your purchase and find the website (and us hopefully) helpfulClick here to enlarge . There are a few of us here with the AH Turbo... and as others have said, mods are very slowly starting to pop up. Personally I'm waiting to see how other's mods go... before going ahead with mine. I understand what you mean though with the body roll though...

    As Ishley said, they are the obvious options for suspension atm. From what ive read on here and UK sites, I don't think there's been any issues with lowering and the IDS+ (suspension) malfunctioning... which is a good sign.

    Possibly look at putting your car up in the member's section... then you can keep us posted on how things go

    Yeah, reliability is a must for me. I am going to have a chat to holden and see what they say about lowering it. I have read somewhere that they claim it can go up to 30mm lower on the IDS+ shocks without problems. I'm only looking to go a little. Supposedly the H&K system is about 15mm, which is exactly what i'm after. Not really looking to lower it for the looks, i sort of got over a low car with the prelude (it's on the deck!), I just want to springs for the handling aspect.

    Also glad whiteline have got off their ass and done a rear sway, I was thinking i'd have to give my car over as the donor to get one made.

    Thanks for all the other welcome messages guys. I joined NSW forum tonight, shaun.
