I love my new ej8. however, the suspension is a little soft. I wanted to lower it with a good shock/spring combo, but I am a little short on funds. I could cheap out on the drop, but I'm afraid ride quality will suffer, and this is a daily driver. Right now I only have a couple hundred bucks to work with, and I was really wanting to put it into my suspension.

I was looking at the mfactory sway bar/tie bar combo for 190 shipped, and it is at the right price for me.

I was wondering if I would notice the rear sway on my 00 ex civic (no rear sway atm), or would the upgrade be unnoticeable due to my stock shock/spring setup?

 

just save your money and buy good shocks and springs, and then upgrade your swaybar...

 

I figured that would be the answer, but wanted to make sure. guess i'm going to get an agx/spring combo. saving sucks...

 

Could always do credit and get it now.

Or save and be financially responsible.

no credit, the car doesn't handle THAT bad!

 

unless your planning on tracking it( if you are save up more $$) Tein S techs are a great spring to use with stock suspension. Tein states they developed the s tech for stock shocks, the rates arent high, and the drop is noticeable 1.8"'s or so for your car I beleive. this might solve yoru problem. Oh, and if you just do the sway bar, YES you will still notice a big difference. I just did sway bar bushings (6$) and it helped enough that I noticed. If you want to do it on the cheap, go tein, and get some ES bushings for the front and rear. You'l be out the door for under 200$ then set some bucks aside if you want to upgrade the shocks. the teins will be MUCH kinder to stock shocks than what a lot of people run.
