yea there are two perches on the koni shock you can use when you install it. one is standard and the other gives you about a 1/2" drop (if you want). This may be an ideal choice for you over coilovers since you're not trying to adjust height or anything.

So wait, the Koni Yellows will get me a 1/2" drop? Thats pretty substantial for just a shock.
I'd get coilovers but I'm honestly not looking to mess with ride height all that much, and having had coilovers in the past, I know if you don't spend the money on a good set, then your ride quality is garbage.
I heard the compression is higher on the Yellows than stock, and the ap2 springs are a huge improvement over the ap1s... which is why I was considering that combo. Also, since I wasn't going to go all out on my exhaust, I figured I wouldn't need to go all out on my suspension either
So... is everyone still thinking I should just go and run co's? I know a good set of TIENS is going to cost me a pretty penny....

You'll get less body roll over all anyway with a slightly lower center of gravity no? Not to mention 1/2" is even noticeable ...

Thanks for the info on the shocks guys, thats awesome news.
Having dealt with coilovers on my prelude, I'm happy with a 1/2" drop and the ap2 springs, assuming the spring rates are different. I believe the Ap2s are a big more stiff than the Ap1s and the koni's should allow for improved dampening.
I'm also ordering a front tower bar, and hopefully an x brace, and this should hold me over suspension wise for at least a good 3 months
I replied to all PM's and thanks for helping me out!
