Um, yes there are both

I have both

I have suspension techniques F&R sway bars

And upper AND lower strut braces

All for a 94-97 accord, check out the n00b guide or search you'll find more info

Here's my sways


Front and rear sways and lower strut brace


Front Sway, Front Lower Strut Brace


Don't have any pics of my upper strut brace, but you get the idea

You too can have this special once in a lifetime kit on, you guessed it, EBAY! for just $100

The labor gettin all them replaced is killer though But oh man what a change it is

Not DIY install? Im pretty sure it would be painfully but doable right?

Could be done, my garage is too small, I don't have air tools yet, plus I don't have a hydraulic press, the bushings all need pressed in. Not to mention my installer had such a hard time just getting the original rubber bushings out, most of them were dry rotted, and disintegrating which made it harder to get the whole things out. Def a lot of work, well worth it, but for me it was worth the couple hundred extra just to have my guy do it all at his shop on a lift, rather than me trying it in my garage with jack stands

i spent $20 on frame bushings just for the front sway bar and WOW nice difference. Was also running poly endlinks as well. my cl already had an oem front strut bar so never bothered throwing $$$$ there. Good suspension, and tires made the biggest difference overall.


peace

Suspension def helps, but bushings and sways are good if you're serious about swappin suspensions, they make a HUGE difference
