I just drove an Audi TT. This car handles corners well. Even when driving straight the steering was tight. Is there any thing I can do to my 95 Accord to get a similar effect? I have lowered my 95 accord with neuspeed springs (1.8 drop). Will a stress bar, removing the power steering belt, or something help me out on this?

Assistance Please.

 

adjustable shocks
rear sway
front and rear upper tie bars

some people don't like driving without p/s....i love it and would recommend it to anyone that loves to feel the control the have over the car...you feel more connected to the road...and you get big arms from driving around parking lots

p/s?

 

Power Steering

 

whats the best way to disable my power steering? drain the fluid or just take off the belt? how hard is to take off the belt, do i have to do anything else? i have a 94 ex btw. thanks

 

you can just take off the belt, relatively easy, just a few bolts/nuts.

I've tried w/o the belt and hated it. Couldn't manage low speed 90 degree turns. Freeway driving was ok... but still difficult to manage as there was so much resistance pushing back as I try to pull the wheel a certain direction.

I read from a few other threads if you want to drive w/o it long term, you should take it out and cap the lines or something, as driving just w/o the belt is bad for the system.

id still like to hear/see some sorta swap or mod that reduces the power assistance, but still allows enough to manage low speed driving/turns. I liked the feel of the steering in my friend's ITR, enough to take low speed turns, but not too much for the freeway at 80mph.

Well let me say that I disableed it for about two weeks, and it was pretty fun. I didn't have much of a problem around town, I just had to put more oomph into it. I recommend that you build up your arms, deltoids and pecs beforehand.

 

Get good shocks and an alignment with factory specs (toe-in). This is the best setup for straight line stability and great for rough road surfaces.
