Can you adjust the camber on the S via alignment? On Preludes you can't unless you get a camber kit. Also the biggest culprit of uneven tire wear is usually the toe spec. With an 1" inch drop camber shouldn't be an issue.. toe should always be checked after any suspension change.

Which coilovers did he have? What about getting a good set of coilovers like Tein or JIC and keeping a similar height to stock but still benefiting from the increased spring rates and better quality shocks? I know you can't compare stock suspension of the Prelude to the S but my Teins are like night and day compared to stock. Then again I have 660/440 springs.. compared to 220/180 stock I think.

I have the pro kit on my mx6 with kyb agx shocks and its ok.

I like the pro kit its a decent drop

but if your going coliovers make sure they are aluminum based so they dont seize like the craptacular ones 80% of people use.

Rich - yes, that is why I highly recommend them. Johnny went there after we were tinkering and tankering and mulling over his toe in situation for weeks. Great service

Get the kg/mm springs and then when you can swing it get the Koni shocks for them. It's a great setup, cheaper than a pure coilover and just as good as most of them.

Did you guys ever consider that Honda spends millions of $ designing these cars to handle the way they do? Do they really need to be played with?How much time, effort ,money do you think that these aftermarket companies spend on each different car designing springs?Is it worth playing with a car that works so well?
