I am looking to perform some handling upgrades on my Base 2004 RSX and would like to get the best bang for my buck. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking of starting with the front strut tower brace....but honestly after that I don't know what stock components to replace to give the most dramatic improvement. Suggestions are welcomed

 

Sway bars to reduce body roll, strut bars, coilovers....

 

Forget the struts bars. those do hardly anything. You should upgrade your rear sway first off to a beefier to help get rid of the understeer fwd cars commonly have...

 

Strut bars really do very litle especially on a stock suspension, Sway bars are definitely a good place to start, you also may want to replace the stock springs and shocks with some coilovers. Depending on how crazy you want to go you can get into plenty of other parts as well, I've replaced all my rubber bushings with polyurethayne bushings, I've replaced my balljoints with a camber kit, I've replaced my sways with bigger ones, upper and lower strut braces, rear tie bar, there's all kinds of things you can do.

 

Tires are a big one as well.

 

I would say get a good set of coilovers also front and rear sway bars are not a bad idea either. I put my Tein SS-P's on in the begining of april and I love them.

 

Sways indeed do help, I'm on Hotchkis 25.4mm sways and coming from a base... the difference was amazing.

 

ya im using the hotchkis endlinks on my progress 24mm. I really like them

 

Some of the best coils money can buy

 

hell ya!!, worth every penny!!! cant wait until i get EDFC.
