I have the ASPEC suspension and Progress RSB. However, they are still sitting in my garage to be installed. Hopefully in the next few weeks. Reason why I went with the ASPEC is because I dont want the ride to be to harsh since I have a 4 month old son. According to some here on the forum, the ride is about the same as the stock except for the floatiness.

Sqweak, what's your budget and are you willing to use pre-owned parts?

I've had Tein Basic coilovers, Eibach/Koni Sport, H&R Sport/stock shocks, and now I'm on H&R Sport/Koni SP3. For daily driver, I think my current setup is the best compromise for performance and comfort. If you can, don't lower your car on stock shocks.

I have Comptech 22 mm rear sway bar. I think while it reduces understeer, it's not enough for me. Progress makes a larger bar and also adjustable.

IMO, if your budget is limited, buy the springs and shocks first. Swaybar can wait.

Ill agree with 260 HP..springs make the car look 10 times better..acura cant make a car without 2 ft of fender gap..you will notice a lot with the sway bar as well..i also reccomend the progress 24 mm adjustable..i have mine on stiff setting and in the corners its a huge difference but the everyday ride is unchanged..i was on a budget and have H&R springs on stock shocks..Tein SS will be on my car in the next 2 weeks...corner heaven!

Tein SS- maybe with the EDFC electronic adjustment controller, progress bars if you are hardcore street racer
For normal drivers:
Cusco Upper strut tower bar and lower frame crossbrace- those are cheap and amazing tightening of the car in corners- first thing I did to mine

See the Off Topic Section- Sponsored Sales for post by Excelerate and MrHeelToe
both are authorized dealers for the parts they sell, so no off brand fake models from them
