The car ran me $26k ...not a bad price i dont think.

The prelude actually still handles better..but thats prob not much of a surprise either, it does have a few supension mods (HR springs, koni shocks, whitline sway bars, adj. control arms etc.) and i have 15 in wheels, not the normal cool guy 17's, forged too so they are about 10lb's each, but not even remotely close in acceleration to the cobra, big surprise again.

The tires are nitto's cant remember which ones off the top of my head, they arent the drag radials though. Car also has the updated heads because it was an early 2003.

Which tires do you guys recommend? I have kuhmo ecsta mx's on my prelude and like them a lot and i have heard a lot of the vette guys use them too, arent too expensive either. Should i stick with the 275/40 18 i have now? or try 295/40? I believe the wheels are 18x10 by the way..have to check again.

Thanks for the compliments by the way and the help

welcome to the club,

I would suggest some Nitto Drags for the rear and 275-35-18 for the front. Looks good bro!! Killer deal. Does the car have anymods or just the wheels?

It has just a magnaflow catback and the stock air box was replaced with a k&n cone filter. Has some h&R springs too.

What size tires for the rear do you recommend? And about how long do the nitto drags last? are they a good overall tire as far as handling? thanks
