when the car thinks its loaded down the brakes work harder.but when you lower the car it thinks its loaded and brakes work too hard and can cause lock ups. does anyone know if preludes have height sensitive control valves on the braking system?
the prelude has 4 wheel disc and ABS on some vehicles. The height valve you are asking about is commonly used on trucks such as the Nissan truck with rear drum brakes to balance the braking when the truck bed is loaded down. Honda does not use that type of valve on any of its vehicles. if you have a problem with lock up check for air in the system first. Then if its locking up after bleeding the air out of the system see if you can identify which wheel is locking up. I would guess you don't have ABS if you're locking a wheel up. If you identify what wheel is locking then you can look at the calipers, pads and hydraulics for that wheel to find the problem. hope that helps
