Hey all, my first post

So I've been Rollin around in my 2000 hx with illuminas/h&r sports. Very livable ride as spring rates are pretty low yet I greatly miss the feel of oem suspension...
I've got my hands on an ITR rear sway and an ASR subframe brace (in black).
When i install this, I plan on putting my oem suspension back on as well.
My question is do you guys expect my handling to be better with oem suspension and ITR sway....or the illumina/h&r with NO sway?

 

The larger swaybar will increase spring rate while cornering without hurting the ride comfort.

 

I honestly wouldn't put the ASR brace / ITR rear sway on with soft OEM springs. Sway bars of that size are meant to be used in conjunction with stiff spring rates, not as a suspension tuning item on their own.

My point is that the soft OEM springs will tend to outweight or at least cancel out most of the benefits seen by the sway.

 

guess ill just try both

 

I own the same setup (Illuminas and H&R) and I love it. Why in your right mind would you switch back to a stock shock/spring?

 

Old age ownz your back.

 

What?

 

id love to keep it it but im always driving other people and with a constant load of 4 people in my car, keeping the ride complaints to a minimum is tough...i figure i could get away with an ITR rear sway and put stock suspension back on and maybe barely notice much of a diff but i guess ill find out this week

 

Understandable. I usually only allow 1 other in my car besides me and especially NO FAT CHICKS. lol

 

my weakness is def the fat chicks

 

you should determine what you want to do with your car and worry less about what the others think. If they are riding in your car they shouldnt be complaining as they arent paying for gas and maintenance on their own cars. Make them start driving you around and keep your cars suspension how ever you desire. My vote is to keep the Illuminas and H&Rs
