Don't let them put you off.

Good Purch bro!

nah nah by all means go for it, but you're definitely not buying something solid

Its not that. You guys are obviously more experienced than me. So if those parts are useless ill invest in something worth it

[DuffyFD]

Got pics? Do you know the brand?

Best to study the funcction and philosophy of something before spending the monieyz

dont just follow what some random on here says,learn for yourself

[curtis265]

agree with above whole heartedly

you could argue that all parts are useless.

do some thinking nad try to understand what each part does as well as whether or not you truly want it

or you'll end up with a car that's neither here nor there with looks that u get sick of regularly

Too true. Too true. +1.

I know what you guys mean. Thanks for the Help/Advice though.
I think ill just get some sway bars and a strut bar and improve on handling.

Does anyone know where i can get the front top strut bar that goes straight across? I dont like the V one


P.S. Sorry if i keep asking and saying dumb things. Im still learning about about the car

ultra racing front strut i had was okay - but tbh you feel the most difference with a sway bar (well i did anyway - and i had rear under brace and front under brace as well). All my stuff was from ultra racing btw. Also, the front strut for the civic goes under the black plastic covering that is just beneath where the wind shield wipers sit. Keep in mind that stiffening up the rear more than the front will generally (I believe) induce better turn-in.

But when doing all of these suspension mods - learn from my mistakes and do them one by one, i did things two at a time and couldn't really appreciate or feel the difference each part made on the handling dynamics of the car.

I know there's some bad reviews out there for ultra racing but they were good to me. Shift performance is an authorised distributor i believe (well they were back a couple years anyway). However.. just saw you're in melb... not sure who in melb locally will be able to get UR stuff in but im sure there will be heaps!

Black8gen is on the money ! front strut bar for the fd's is only bling, our strut tower is closer to the firewall than most cars and already offer enough rigidity. The rear sway bar is by far the best mod which will result in a shit load less body roll during cornering. It also aids braking and also acceleration. In the wet it allow more of your tyres to contact the road. Cusco make a great rear bar.

underbody bracing I wouldnt recommend unless you want to go hard at the race track. the FD has a fairly large light weight body and both front and rear bracing do help some of the twisting force generated at the track. If your car is lowered, on the street they scrap and bang getting out of Westfield's and everywhere else you'll need to slow right down at speed humps.

Spend the money and buy the front and rear sway bar pack (Cusco front and rear sway bars + Hardrace endlinks) that's up for sale here from EGB.

That's top quality brands for something that will transform the way your car corners.

[black8thgen]

Yep! the gear from EGB is quality shit. All you'll need. Also, Stevil is correct - under body bracing is not as effective In terms of bang for buck for our FDs as compared to sway bars. And yeah when I had them on I was like sea-sawing over big bumps and Westfield ramps lol it's ridiculous I do not recommend it if you're low

I just saw his ad and im SO tempted to buy it all haha
But the sway bars are going have to wait. As i am a full time student and not a very good income. On top of that
my Mid year school fees are coming in a few months and its going to cost me an arm and a leg.

Does the corsport rear brace help? I think I'll get that first and then the sway bars after my school fees.
Not a big fan of the V strut brace. I dont mind if people cant see the one that goes stright over or not.
