PS: Have your CC ready Q :p
Cool thanks.
Some questions that haven't been answered though:
1. What's an anti-lift kit? Is this the same as a castor kit?
2. What's the difference between a swaybar and a tie-bar?
And some new questions:
3. Does a rear strut brace make much of a difference? The sales person said it had one, but I've had a look, and I can't see it (Should stick right across my back seats by my figuring).
4. Would poly pushes make any sort of impact on handling? I've heard them used a lot for drifting for S13s and AE86s, and are probably a bit on the extreeme side for road use. Thoughts?
5. Are coilovers that much better than springs and shocks? Keeping in mind it's a road car that has to go up driveways and deal with potholes and crappy road surfaces.
6. Adjustable height suspension. I know hydraulic suspension is illegal - in victoria atleast. What about airbag suspension? I hear it's nowhere near as good as a good set of fixed height (or manual adjustable anyway) suspension. So how does it compare?
I'd be interested in this, as then I could dump my car on it's arse, and not have to worry about getting over speed humps and up driveways once I put a new lip on the front and some sideskirts on her. (steep driveway? Flick a switch, wait 2 mins, not a problem).
Soo many questions *sigh*
Have you searched at all?
Anti-lift kits aren't that much of a requirement on our Hondas. It is more essential for 4WD cars like the WRXQuote:

If you click here, the bottom left pic shows the tiebar under the swaybar.
It connects the top of the rear shock mounts in order to stiffen the chasis. Any type of (proper) chasis bracing is a good thing. If you can't see it...its not there.Quote:

Poly bushes tend to last longer than rubber ones and will give you a stiffer feel at the sacrifice of a slightly harsher ride.Quote:

If you are on a budget.....stick with springs / shocks. If you plan to track your car or are serious about its handling.....you'd have to consider coilovers. You get what you pay for and will have to research the various brands.Quote:

DO you want a show pony or something that handles well.......or are you just asking questions for the sake of it ? :confused:Quote:

You still haven't answered my question about what anti-lift kits are.
I don't want adjustable suspension as some showey crap, but I've seen a lot of my friends scrape the hell outta their exhaust and the rest of their under carriage as well as damaged their front bar against steep driveways. I don't want to have to worry about this. I also know that lowering a car (to a point) is a good thing, as it lowers the center of gravity. So if I could get adjustable suspension that wasn't totaly crap, it'd make me a happy chappy.
Seemingly from your posts though, airbags are crap. So thanks for answering my question, in a round about sorta way.
Man I don't cop this kinda attitude from toymods. I might just stick to that forum.Quote:

To be Honest you are going to spend alot of money on adjustable suspension if its quick adjusts, unless its a more manual adjustable suspension
If you thinking airbags stuff then its not gonna handle good at all...
You can get adjustable shocks you adjust the thread but that means getting out of the car and screwing all the shocks up and down etc...
you may as well if you want a low car get a nice tidy exhaust and just be very careful my car is on its belly but i still just play it safe obviously there are places i cant go but i find that im used to it now....something you have to live with having a low car
good luck
I hope this post was more useful to you...
guys relax - just grab a rear swaybar + reinforcement then take it from there :)
Cheers lerroy, that's what I thought re: airbag suspension. (And yes this is more like the kinda post I was expecting from my questions, cheers :thumbsup: ).
Seems the rear swaybar is the way to go. I might just grab one of these and see if I even need lower suspension after that.
Any suggestions on swaybar brands, appart from whiteline obviously?
ohhhh, so sorry your majesty!Quote:
