    Prelude 92-96 suspension.

    Hi people,
    Can anyone tell me if 92-96 Prelude Koni Yellow struts will work on my CB3?

    Id rather have a CB specific set offcourse but I can get brand new Koni Yellows for about 25% of the normal price. That makes me consider.

    on the pictures they look alike alot.

    greetings

    Doesnt look like it.


    However you can use Accord 90-97 suspension parts.

      No, they will not work. They are different part numbers. (the Prelude parts, that is... I started typing before Erik replied.)

      I can't remember which end it is, but either the front or the rear will bolt up... but the valving will be different.

      Since your safety depends on your suspension being correct for your car, it would be worth paying the extra money for the proper parts!

      Koni is based in the Netherlands... you should be able to get them cheap!

        Theyre lots of sets available here (NOS) but I couldnt find a Accord set, I did find the Prelude set for about 140$.
        So that's worth asking I think.

        Is weight on front and rear so different on Preludes vs Accords?
        I was thinking the weight wouldnt be too much off ( so still a good drive ).

          The weights are similar, but the weight distribution is different. The Prelude's suspension geometry is also different. I'm no expert, but I can only assume that the people that designed the parts (who ARE experts) made two different parts for a reason.

          $140 USD? That's what we pay for ONE Koni shock around here!
          You could probably buy that, sell it to someone in the US for a good price, and still make a profit after shipping!

          As Erik said, the parts are the same for 90-97 Accords. Have you expanded your search to include the 5th generation? That is assuming the 5th generation Accords you got there were the same as the ones we got in the US. CD chassis.
          I know there were some models available in other markets that we never got here, and I don't know for sure if those shocks would fit those models.

            Yeah might pick them up for a bit of cash to add to my own coilovers.

            I havent looked into CD chassis yet. Should be a good deal available somewhere

            Thanks for the quick answers!
