Hey guys I am looking for a way to improve cornering on my car. I love driving a car that just feels like it is hugging the road. unfortunately my 92 dx sedan doesn't feel that way. From what I have read sway bars will help. I currently have kyb agx shocks w/ tein s tech springs and omni lca's. Can anyone recommend a decent sway bar combo?
Is it necessary to get a front sway or just rear?

 

Wow, all day, and no answers.

First, you should do alot of searching and reading. This is a topic that has been covered many many times.

Is the lowering provided by the springs too far for those shocks? I don't know much of a drop they can handle, but if you're riding outside of the shocks range, it won't corner, or drive, as well as it should.

The first thing I would do with the car is replace all of the suspension bushings. On a 92, they're bound to be well worn in, if not worn out. I've read that you shouldn't use polyurethane in the rear trailing arms, as it can cause binding, but you can use it every where else if you want. Otherwise, Mugen rubber bushings would be good, or plain ole OEM too. The Mugen should be stiffer, but you may or may not benefit enough to warrant the cost.

If you don't have a rear swaybar, then adding one would be a nice upgrade. The stock bar off of another car (G3 Integra maybe? Not sure on fitment) could be a good start, or aftermarket if you want. You probably don't need to worry about the front bar, its probably big enough, but thats to personal taste and what you intend to do with the car.

 

get a matched swaybar set or you can get dangerous oversteer and wreck.

and get a subframe reinforcement kit

 

I like my setup it's a blox 21mm rear with a beaks kit and ST 3/4" front(damn CX with no bars!). If you can afford it I'd go with an A spec racing subframe kit, I bought the beaks kit only because I didn't know about the ASR kit until after I bought it. No complaints, much better than having no swaybars especially going around corners.

 

I personally would look into a stock ITR front and rear setup with an ASR rear bracket. You'll need to replace both your front and rear LCA's. I personally prefer not to use sway bars (they're really heavy) and just run a stiff enough suspension to where there's no roll to begin with.

This is the way too go. I have a 22mm CTR rear sway bar and stock 23mm Front sway bar on my 1.6EL and contrary to what everyone says, the car dosen't oversteer like mad, its a civic not a mustang. The rear sway bar does allow the rear to step out slightly (car is rotating for the turn) so it aligns the car better for turns. Sway bars are a fantastic upgrade, but don't buy a kit, so expensive, go OEM Honda.
