i want to have real good suspension with a smooth ride and real good handling but i do not want to lower my car, what are my options?

 

you can always upgrade and get bigger sway bars.

 

Buy a BMW.

 

You could install an upgraded Anti Sway Bar set (Suspension Techniques, etc) and a set of Adjustable Struts like KYB AGX Series.
Another avuenue you might want to explore is Brake Upgrades. A set of slotted/drilled rotors, a set of carbon kevlar Brake Pads and a set of Goodyear Stainless Braided Brake Hoses would do wonders as well.

Handling?

F/R sways
Poly bushings in the front
Better wheels/tires (lightweight wheels, stickier tires)
Bilsteins struts (think I spelled that right )

*edit*

And **** at least say the type of car

 

sorry its a 95 honda accord lx and as for the bmw i just got rid of my 98 bmw ///M3 and picked up my accord the beemer was allright but HONDA is where its at. k well i have brand new Tokico HP shocks could i put those on my car with my stock springs. and also my car is 100% bone stock everything what should be the first step i take in fully building my suspension.

 

i think you might be able to install coilovers and just keep them adjusted to max height

 

the very first thing to do is get a nice fat rear sway bar
and or 17"s and fat sticky rubber

 

should i just get all four (upper and lower front and back). also i was wondering when i drive down the road my steering wheel is slightly turned to the left. my car is going straigt down the road and my alignment is perfect. what could be the problem

 

You should get the Explicit Street Performance 3pt front strut tower bar. From there, if you want to spend the $$$, get Konis and Ground Controls (shocks and springs). Energy Suspension poly bushings, Suspension Techniques rear sway (Front is unnecessary), Brembo BLANKS & Hawk HPs. Close to $2K worth of stuff, but it will really make a difference.

Of course, you will have to get new tires and wheels... btu that's up to you.

 

my buddy wants to sell me his H&R coilovers off his 95 acura integra would they fit on my 95 accord?

 

Either:
1) Someone neglected (or was sloppy) to set the center steering when they aligned the front end. In effect, a fixture is used to immobilize the steering wheel in the straight ahead position when the toe is adjusted.
OR
2) One of the two front tires has a higher rolling resistance and imparts a pull in it's direction. If your tires are non-directional, try swapping the front tires side to side and note if the wheel biasses right. OR
3) The right Caliper is dragging (incomplete release) OR
4) You're compensating for the drainage crown in the road, and are biasing left to keep the car from falling off towards the right.

You're joking right?

 

yes my car does slightly pull to the right when i let go of the wheel,even after i went and got an allignment and my tires are brand new,still sitting on the stock steelies,and yes i was serious about the coilovers he says they will fit now problem.

 

You can install the Tokico HP's with factory springs, they are a high performance OE replacement. That will Help. Stay away from coil-overs, even at full height you will usually be below factory ride height and coil-overs ride poorly at that height. Strut tower braces you won't really notice until your car handles well enough to bomb corners and have body flex. Like everyone has said, *tires and or different wheel size *sway bars *shocks *Fresh bushings and ball joints are also a cheap and effective upgrade

 

like i said i have a 95 accord and im pretty sure that my springs are the original springs that came in the car should i replace them (even if they are in good conditon) when i put in my brand new shocks,just so everything is new?

 

if you got the money to spare, you can go to a collision center and have the car put on the frame pulling machine, i did it with mine, always had a pull to one side after alignments

they tweeked the frame a little in idk how many assload of places and the **** is epic now

i can let go of the wheel at 100mph and it is straight as ***

 

straight as what?

Steers and queers......

anyway,

hm.... got rid of your 98 M3 for a 94 accord LX. " Honda is where it's at..."

lies lies lies

 

Your jokin to right??? haha everyone knows if you dont get a BMW new or fairly new your gonna be dealin with problems the entire time you own the car... Its luxury but once again German designing!!. Every car they've ever made had problems bout 100,000 miles. Not saying they arnt nice but were in a honda forum here guy!!

And as of a bone stock ride, thats a good platform to start from.. Keep in mind nothin is done so your gonna have ta spend the money if ya want everything done right! You can always get deals for honda things, just shop around.
I would change out your stock struts and buy some adjustable ones, and prolly need new/better springs!! change rims, and tires and put struts on. Small brake upgrade and your good to go. Slap in some nice headlight bulbs while your at it!!! makes it worth drivin at night. ;-)

 

thank you yes we are all here for hondas so forget the beemers ive forgotten mine. and as for bmw having problems,your right,mine only had 111,000.and it was WELL WELL taken care of previous to me getting it, i was the third owner but it had problems too,my honda has more miles more owners and less problems so yes HONDA IS WHERE ITS AT. any way if i do need to go to a collision shop to get my framed stretched could that mean my car has been in a accident i have done a CARFAX and it was totally clean. and so far i have got Tokico HP shocks,OEM springs,sprint camber kit (just incase)xrt stage 1 clutch,and H.I.Ds i have allready put in the H.I.Ds but should i wait to put in my suspension parts till i have everything so i put it all on at once or should i put the parts on as i get them? thanks for the help

 

The only possible reason you might want adjustable coil overs (and the absolutely hideous expense) is for either bragging rights or you need to compensate for the heffer sitting in either seat.
There is nothing to be gained. Besides, the 5th Gen Accords have coil-overs already....... just not the romantic type.
The Integra struts will not fit.

Beautifully stated, P.

My $.02:
*Eibach, KYB, blah blah blah Front AND rear sway and/or strut bars.
*Stock height coilovers
*Rear camber kit
*Light weight wheels
*Sticky "$300 a piece" rubbers

:D
thats clean

 

quick ? op said his accord is a 95 lx, i myself have the 94 lx. The steering is sloppy i want to make it tighter and stiffer since money is tight for myself i would like the stbalizer bar but the lx trim did not come with stabalizer bars how much is it going to cost to fabricate one on there?. anyone know?

 

Calm down tiger

If you're referring to a rear sway bar, since the LX did not come with it do some research, there's quite a few threads on how to install them. You can swap EX subframe or a sway that doesn't use stock mounting points.

 

The Base Models (DX,LX,SE,VP) all come with a sway bar in the front (27mm I believe)The EX front sway bar (32mm I believe) is a direct fit, just include the corresponding mounting bushings and that addresses the front.

The rear is a little more problamatic if you insist on using the Honda EX bits. It can get rather intense.
I'd suggest the rear bar kit from such people as Suspension Techniques. It's designed to be installed on all Accord chassis. That takes care of the rear.
