Hi, I'm new to the car scene and was wondering if the rear sway bars (the one at the bottom of the car, not the boot) give a noticeable difference to handling. Also, what are a couple of mods I can do that are cheap (I'm on a budget).
The rear sway bar will make your car much flatter and help neutralize the under steer in stock Hondas, without really compromising any comfort. Basically a lot of fun. Must do mod for sure
Absolutely different. Love it. I know lower will make my car look better, but i need to be realistic when my car usually full load and many potholes on the road.Quote:

Why Evo? many Evo with heavy modded, but not many FD turbo charged. Think that way ;-)Quote:

If I did it again, I would get a SRI and not have to worry about hydro lock and driving in wet conditions especially if lowered. The power increase is negligible. SRI with a cover is probably the best, and will be slightly louder if that's your thingQuote:

It depends where you live. I have a SRI (Short Ram Intake) and it is absolutely terrible in summer. The car is getting so much heat soak you lose a shit load of power.Quote:
