Default what susp setup and stabilizers are you using?

what suspension setup are you guys running? what strut/tower bars? and what car?

still doing my research on parts and what to go w/.

but right now, i'm running on Ground Control coilovers on Tokiko blues w/ Ingalls camber kits on all fours.

i have some TEIN full-coils that will go on whenever i figure out what bars i'm gonna' go w/. who knows, i might end up going w/ a cage but i really don't want to have to.

the car is a 99 Prelude SH.

I have the Ground Control Coilovers with Tokico 5-way Adjustable Shocks, I love it.

I know a kid that has the Tein SS full coilovers and I would take that suspension setup any day.

I wouldnt really get any strut tower bars or anything unless they're firewall mounted (3 piece ones, I dont know what they're called). Don't get a roll cage unless you need it.

my setup was:
GC/Koni (450/550)
Progress 27mm rear sway/stock front
17x8's with 235 40 17 RA-1's.

No strut bars, tie bars, or pillar bars b/c they don't do anything. The only thing i would have added to that would have been custom front UCA's for camber adjustment. and a cage if it was going to be a dedicated race car.

I have:
A No Name Front strut bar
A No Name Rear Tie Bar
Cusco rear strut bar

Tein Type HA: handle very well on the track, comfortable enough on the road provided is on the lowest setting. Creates rattle everywhere when it's stiff. And it makes clunking noise on every big bumps

Sold that and move into

Mugen Sport suspension
Very comfortable on the road, feels like stock with firmer feeling on the corner, and it lowers the car just right for looks and usability.
Way more body roll than the Tein, and on off-camber corner the car always feels like it will lose the rear end.

koni yellow
gc (450/375)
progress rear sway
neuspeed front strut bar
spoon rear strut bar

While the strut bars didn't make noticeable handling difference, the car creaks less. This is most noticeable when loading/unloading opposite corners, ie. going into/out of driveways with high angles.
