Hey, I'm new to the ek world, used to have an em2 and know all about them but not much about the 6thgen. Looking to do some suspension upgrades, and need some advice.

Front strut bar:

What options do we have available? I'm talkin about good stuff (but not so expensive). I was looking at the Benen 3 point bar and it looks serious business! Does neuspeed also make strut bars for the ek? or any other ones I might not be aware of?


Shocks/springs:

I used to have Tein ss on the em2 and was great. Looking to do my own combo on the ek for a street/occasional track setup. I know all about how awesome koni/GC setup is, wondering if there's any other options in the $5-600 price range? I'm not looking to lower too much, as long as they perform I'm happy.

Rear sway bar:

I haven't had a chance to go down there take a look, did ek's come with a stock rear sway bar? mine is a 98 dx hatch, what do I need in order to install a sway bar? and which one is the best buy?

Thanks in advance.

ps. If you guy got any of this stuff for sale shoot me a pm.

Thanks.

I have the Nuespeed 4-point front strut brace, and it works amazing. Has really proved its worth to me last year in autocross over previous years with other types of strut bars.


Koni/GC's make an ideal street setup for a daily driver/weekend track car (autocross, road racing, drag, ect)

Rear sway bars dont come stock on EK's in the US except for SI's and Type Rs. ( This means all Ex, dx, lx, cx, vx, hx, ect, ect). If you do get one, Please take note that EK subframes are prone to tearing so its suggested that you get the ASR (or any other) Subframe reinforcment brace. I know on Password JDM.com , they sell the ASR plate/CTR sway bar (22mm?) combo kits. They make a very nice upgrade for tightening up the feel of the car in corners.

Thats a weird design, have you seen the benen one?

I was looking into buying some ground controls and some of them come with top hats. Why is this?

Thanks
