Best value for money suspension mods?

[mute]

Hey guys i just bought an EK and want to fix up the handling for as cheap as possible! Just wondering what you would recommend as the best value for money suspension mod.

Do you reckon a rear swaybar would be the way to go? Or a front strut brace or front swaybar??

Let me know your experiences :)

PS. I will also be fitting some Whiteline lowered springs (using stock shocks), just want to know which bar will give me the best handling for the cheapest price (having no money being a student sucks :()

[Zdster]

I think most people will say that you should look at a rear sway bar to improve the handling the best. I know whiteline also make these so check out there website.

Yeah i had a feeling the rear swaybar made the biggest difference in handling.. the Whiteline ones look good :)

[Hondavirgin]

whiteline sell matched kits for a lot of models, with different levels. Probably have one that would have springs and swaybar in it.

[mute]

Yeah i know, quite expensive though. $871 installed for front + rear swaybars & camber/caster kit.

Doesn't even include springs.

[Hondavirgin]

yeah, but all their parts are designed to work together so if you're definately getting whiteline springs....

I'm sure most ppl on here will recommend some hard ass jap brand springs though.

Lets not forget that im on a fairly tight budget so cant really afford $871 + $300 for springs

Rear swaybar $220 + $300 for springs is much more affordable :)

yes but if you save your money you will be happier in the end :)

best bang for buck

king springs approx $320.00 a set

whiteline adjustable sway bars from approx $210.00 to $235.00

DIY installs on all plus a wheel alignment and for just under $600 u have a completely different car in terms on handling :thumbsup:

note: those r rrp i have better ones ;) lol

[bennjamin]

for THE best mod.....for the money.

Just grab a Whiteline rear swaybar - 20/22mm adjustable.
install this - EVEN on stock suspension and your car will handle alot better/ firmer :)

[spoondc2]

Yeah just get rear swaybar then get low down springs first
That's what i've done before and solved most of the handling problems

Thanks guys :thumbsup:

[nickiipoohz]

would the rear sway bar be suited for an accord? ive got a CD5 and was also looking at improving the handling. Only got king spring lows atm

[MIRZ]

what exactly mean by better handling? on normal road driving or it is for tracks.

as Ben said only rear sway bar will improve handling a lot, is it a good idea to install it in a stock accord 95??

i m talking about normal road driving, no track driving. :wave:

[egSi]

sway bars r good for street.

go round a round about at 70 stock, chuck a bar on and tell me it doesnt handle better.

there are SOME swaybars avaliable for accords :thumbsup:

[type one]

70km/h is that all... hahahaha.... be careful in your choice of swaybar thickness... the thickest is not always the best.

Sway bar tower bar coilovers sussy all design to keep your car stable on the road...it also make your car respond quickly to avoid danger on the road....

PS:a set of good quality tyre also needed if u want to make your car handle better.....:D

which brand of rear swaybar, would you guys recommend for accord 95 stock.

how much it cost around?

is it DIY or must go to pro for installation?
