Yeah, what they said... plus if it IS lowered, and it hasn't been
lowered correctly (ie. with a proper camber kit and properly selected
springs and dampers), it'll actually blow the handling to **** and make
it terrible or even dangerous to drive in the snow. Not really
something you wanna be hauling your child around in.
If you like the Prelude but need something a little more
family-oriented, try an Accord; they're largely the same car. I've had
three '87s now and they've all been great.
