With prelude parts?
Wasn't that Honda's idea to remedy the understeer before LSD? I've heard it makes them skittish.

Yeah somewhat true, but compared to 88-91 they don't come close hp, after market(altezzas) etc. The only one big advantage is they're lighter. Just do yourself a favor champ get a 4th gen civic or 2nd gen crx. You'll get your money worth. It's truly up to you. Gingas

The horsepower difference is negated by the lighter weight and the aftermarket is plenty if you know where to look. Fast cars don't need flashy taillights, clear corners, or cheap knock-off springs.

Nope, just slotting the panhard bar bushing. I know of a fellow who did it with great success. Mind you, it's more of an FC style DTS (toe-out) system then a true 4WS system like MX6 GT-4WS had.
