Tokico Blues + Aftermarket springs. Check Truehonda and Dezod, I believe they both have struts/springs combos

just got some strut bars for my car. 3 piece-front tower, back upper and lower. installed them on my stock car, the car now is more stable and responds better to turns. imo strut bars is a good mod.

You know that the 3-piece strut bars are not the best becasue it is not a solid bar and the pieces connect with bolts. It helps but not as much as a one-piece strut bar.
If you are going to get a tower strut bar I would get Neuspeed becasue it is one solid bar and doesn't have any moving parts. The best would be a 3-point strut bar that connects to the firewall but nobody that I know makes a direct bolt-on for the 7thgen.

Ya, i settled today and bought a 3 piece Megan rear strut bar. It helps a bit, i wasnt expecting much tho. It a little more than expected. Im still waiting on my Progress adapter kit for my rear sway, then i hope my back end has less slop.
