Product details
These Asphalt Rally Spec AR coilovers are set up for the 1997 to 2001 Honda Prelude, the one approved application for this part number. Four assembled coilovers arrive sprung and valved for that car, with 18 kg/mm front and 8.7 kg/mm rear springs and 36 levels of damping adjustment on one knob per damper.
The Asphalt Rally build uses an extended shock stroke, and on MacPherson-strut fronts it uses an inverted shock with 55 mm bodies. Moving the gas and oil chamber away from the knuckle and brakes helps keep heat and unsprung weight down. Pillowball upper mounts with camber adjustment come with the fronts, and the adjustable lower mount keeps full shock travel while you lower the car. The same kit is also listed for 1992 to 1996 and 2002 to 2007 Prelude models. Confirm fitment with the year, make and model checker, and have an alignment shop set camber after installation.
Supported features
Gravel Rally springs range from 250 mm to 270 mm with extended cylinder length and piston stroke, greatly improving handling over uneven and bumpy roads. Height range varies per vehicle and does not exceed OE ride height.
Asphalt Rally uses inverted shocks on many MacPherson applications, moving the gas/oil chamber away from the knuckle and brakes to reduce heat transfer and unsprung weight.
Strengthened steel lower mounts are standard on MacPherson applications; Gravel Rally adds heavy-duty steel upper mounts on most applications. Wishbone and multi-link applications use the standard aluminum mounts.
Gravel Rally kits use unique hardened-rubber pillowball top mounts on MacPherson applications to absorb repeated impacts from loose surfaces.
Simultaneous compression and rebound adjustment across 36 levels, with carefully selected per-application spring rates and damping to stabilize the car over uneven roads.
Inverted applications use 55 mm bodies for added oil capacity and cooling under sustained stage loads.

Installation
Set ride height with the adjustable lower mount where the application has one; use the spring perch only where the application-specific layout has no adjustable lower mount. Lock every collar with both spanner wrenches. Start damping 18 clicks counterclockwise from full stiff and adjust from there. Professional setup and alignment are required after installation; on MacPherson fronts, establish baseline camber at the elongated lower-mount hole before fine adjustment at the upper plate.
