the coilovers, brakes, and camber kits i can do in a day. when i swapped my suspension we had to pull it from one sol, pull my old stuff and put the teins on mine, and then pull the suspension off an integra to put my old stuff on, and put his stock stuff back on the sol that my teins came off of. haha suspension is a joke to me now. esp since your coils will be pre assembled i believe. camber adjusting takes some time and measuring, but shouldnt be a big deal. hawk pads are easy as well. im not sure whats involved in the 5 lug, but im willing to bet it can all be done in a weekend with the coils and pads. the retrofit may take another day or so.

i can have the headlights reinstalled in an hour.

the coilovers are preassembled and i just installed the same coilovers on my brothers car and the fronts took us 45 min and the rear took almost 2 hours but we could probably do it in one now. ive done like 6 prelude suspensions in the past so that shouldnt be to hard.

im not worried about the camber kits either. once wwe get them off they max out at -1.5 camber and i am going to max out all 4 corners. easy enough.

the 5 lug is swapping the hub and brake assembly. ive heard people doing it in a few hours...

maybe with help we can get it done in a day or 2 but i have no idea how long its going to take to get the bearings in or the toe arm in properly. im not to worried about the adjustments completely because S&R will dial everything in how i want it anyways. only concern i have is ride height. which brings me to another concern of mine. we just put 225-50-16 dunlop direzzas on my brothers lude and it rubs like a bitch so i am going to try to sell my falkens for around what i got them for and i am going to try to get 215-45-16's instead of the 225-50-16's.

it sounds like you had a fun day swapping 3 suspensions when you were getting your teins lol.

ANYONE WANT TO BUY SOME BRAND NEW 225-50-16 FALKEN AZENIS RT-615???

i rolled my brothers fenders too, he is only running -.75 of camber. i am selling them for $40 less then i got them for in the honda for sale thread. or i can pay to have them shipped back and they will ship me the ones i want and i will be out $40 more. i would rather not have to ship them.

i am thinking about getting the other camber kits available for the prelude (the ones my brother is using (his can max out -.75 and mounts on the part of the upper control arm that bolts to the car). the ones i have bolt to the front of the UCA and can go -1.5 so if i have both i have the option to run -2.25 in the rear if needed.

thanks chris. you missed out on a good movie. max, dan, and i ended up going still.

i want 215-45-16s rather then the 225-50-16s. thats what we should have done on maxs car too or even 205-45-16s on his since he cant run as much camber. he rubs bad.

Yeah like I said, next time I'm down. Good idea on the tires, those will be about 1.3" smaller overall. More low..
