The prelude does not take a insert(inserts are mainly used for strut cars) were the strut is cut open, all the guts are taken out and the insert is slid inside and either held in from the bottom with a bolt or there is a sleeve welded to the top of the oe body and threaded for a gland nut to hold everything in.
The prelude is a shock car, front is a 8041-1232sport and the rear is a 8041-1155 sport which has external rebound adjustment.
The insert is what will be used on the front of the 06+civic

I guess I read it wrong. Ohhhhh well. However, when Koni does come out with the sports, they will be a full OTS and not an insert.

Highrev1 · 03-08-2008, 06:21 PM

Koniman now an insert for the OTS konis for the FG...I thought that you guys were gonna do a whole housing and that was the delay as there are 5 or 6 different housings for this car throughout the world???

i did but this is going to be for looks. she will never see the track. all inclusive kits are a lot easier for me.

Highrev1 · 03-08-2008, 07:02 PM

If you wait a couple weeks there will be a full test on almost all the setups for this car..then you can make a better decision...

That is the delay for production.

Highrev1 · 03-09-2008, 11:33 AM

Had em 2 years ago on my SI

These are the D/A's...a single adjustable option will be out shortly

KONIMAN · 03-09-2008, 11:48 AM

ha, i think i built those lol.... They started out as a mustang rear

Highrev1 · 03-09-2008, 11:50 AM

Yeah, thats the mustang donor setup

We have gotten a couple of sets of those already. But obviously only D/A. We did just find an OTS single adjustable koni option for the front and rear. I just gotta test them and then they will be out.

Get on Im's

I will show YOU the shock dynos of them, since you can just get them from work anyway

KONIMAN · 03-09-2008, 11:55 AM

im's?

Bills330i · 03-10-2008, 09:44 PM

Greg,

Read all 8 pages. Still not sure about settings. What are your recomended camber settings for Track Days. I have an 08 Si sedan. Also recommended front camber bolts and rear adjuster.

Watkins Glen April 29th

Highrev1 · 03-10-2008, 09:51 PM

mmmmmmmmmm...The Glenn I love it there...For a track day setup, things change. what tires will you be running...Whos that with PDA? I want to go..

I was up there and got to walk the track that was cool as shit..

meeks · 03-10-2008, 11:43 PM

The club is SCDA. Welcome to SCDA - The Sports Car Driving Association Will be running the stock Michilen All Seasons. I want to change the front camber so i don't kill the front tire shoulders and also reduce the understeer.

Thanks!!

Highrev1 · 03-12-2008, 06:29 PM

Eitherway the limiting factor will be those stock Michilen's. I killed those in one day

The scalloped and were ruined

I would still stick to say -1.75 front and -1 rear 0 toe all around. Those tires don't like too much heat..:

Same, I chewed up the outer edges on my front PS2s in 1 auto-x event. Camber mods will definitely be made before the next event.
