I know the spelling sucks.. so what did you guys go with and what do you recomend to do first.. holding off on the springs and shocks but would like the car to handle a lot better..

Al Uminum

Sways. Big difference tracking and going in and out.

lead_sled_dog

Yeah, your spelling sucks ... why not try [http://www.m-w.com/dictionary.htm] next time ...

As for your question, I just installed the sways ... terrific bang for the buck ... highly recommend ... little change in the general ride but the lane change stuff is much more fun.

why hold off on springs

ruvz

invest in hooked on phonics...better payoff!

Springs and sways are pretty much the only option we have to make the car handle better. I'm installing my springs next week sometime. If you are interested we can meet up so you can see them, and take care of your issue with the system.

perhaps a rear strut bar, since there's already a stock front one. I've always had front and rears and my previous cars. It eats up trunk space tho

Rod

Just get the damn springs, you won't regret it. And from what everyone else says, the same goes for the sways.

GoldTypeS_RENAMED

Another vote for the sways.

And it's "suspension". You probably won't forget that after the good-natured ribbing you're getting on your spelling!

ok get everything...springs, shocks, tires, sways

Cee eL eS

get the springs anyways!

if not, get TIRES or sways...

Hey I am going to get the sways who makes them.. Right now things are tight so i have to wait a bit.. would koni shocks make a big diff.. to ride .. I would like to get eibach springs koni shocks and sways.. can i install the sways my self..

On first impression of driving car I felt there was way to much body roll but that springs were reasonable stiff. First thing I
did was replace shocks,springs,and sways at
same time to have cohesive suspension. Yesterday just installed Neuspeed upper strut
tie bar and front end has tightened up so it
feels much better. Have been searching for
tires and wheels and will do soon as possible. If you're not replacing entire suspension as I did would recommend tires and
sways! Can hardly wait to replace my tires!

i love my suspension (heheh..)...springs, sways & tires...had tires installed first, world of difference...tighter grip, smoother ride, etc...couldn't really notice any difference with sways (maybe because i had them installed with my headers )...springs virtually eliminated ANY and ALL body roll, with them i believe we can hang with the IS300 or even a 330 in the twisties (i'm being a bit optimistic here, maybe because i just had the installed last week and the ride feels 100x better)...the ride is smoother, quicker and easier lane changes, very firm yet soft...and your guts don't feel like they're flying all over the place going 50mph in a turn

...if you have extra money in hand, shocks and lightweight wheels are also a plus

how about coilovers? i'd be happy to get springs and sways but want to have minimal effect on the ride (irregular road surface bumpies) would coilovers offer better handling, adjustable heigth, etc. with less ride alteration?

Rod

From what I hear coilovers make the ride very stiff and harsh.

phatpat

just the cheap ones (the best "cheap" one is ground control by eibach, which runs about $300...those are the harsh and stiff ones you are thinking of)...keep in mind the comptech springs alone cost $330...so go figure...a few good quality coilovers include TEIN HA, apex'i and tanabe sustec...ride quality is good as stock, if not better...i believe a couple of people on this board have the apex'i world sport suspension setup...and yes they are height adjustable, meaning u can slam it 3 inches...don't know if mugen and/or comptech make a set, but they're probably good (and expensive) also...and as with all of our "cl/tl" parts, they are the same as the accord v6

Are you sure? I think people say that even more expensive ones, like the APEXi kit, are harsh. I mean, isn't that their purpose, to provide a tight/stiff race suspension?
