i got some money i wanna spend to make my car handle better and ive been looking at strut bars and sway bars. i know they reduce body roll and all that but i dunno which ones to get.

which ones make a big difference in the handling, struts or sways, and should i be getting the front/rear or upper/lower struts or sways. i dunno to much about this but just want a better handling car. thanks

 

i started posting a list of compatable parts only thing i really finished was a suspension list the thread is "some helpful info"

 

yeah, i saw the thread before. ive found parts and i know which ones fit and all that, but which ones would u say are the best ones to put on our car so that it handles better

 

i would get springs and shocks before you put on sways or strut bars.

 

any recommendations on rear upper strut?

im not gonna get sways fora while

 

lowering your car will make a greater impact on the handling than bars. This is because springs lower your center of gravity

 

Strut bars only help with body flexing problems. I bought a real cheap upper strut bar for $20 on ebay and felt a very small improvement in handling. I don't think a $100 strut bar will help that much more than a $20 bar. Since it's hidden in the trunk I didn't mind buying a cheap one.

If you want a real noticeable difference in handling, invest in good shocks, springs and sways. Do the shocks & springs at the same time and save yourself about $100 in installation (unless you install them yourself). Do the sways later. I'm saving up the springs & shocks now.

 

i already have springs
running stock shocks, not gonna get new ones cuz i don't need it
...which is why im looking into struts

 

what year accord rear upper strut did you get?
98-02 or 94-97?

 

Honda Accord 94-97.

From what I've read here, your stock struts won't last long w/ springs. I'm doing mine at the same time this spring.
