I could just throw some part names out and you could decide if you like the brand or style but that really wouldn't be giving you any good advice.

How do you want your car to handle?
What don't you like about how your car handles now?
How much do you want to spend?

Do you know anything about the coilover on the car now such as the spring rates?

I'm assuming by DC2 you mean an Integra GSR?

Do you have traction bars? Bushings? Both can affect wheel hop.

Are you using you're phone?


You've already had some one reccomend a very good suspension...

For the most part, pillar bars don't do much and the money is much better spent elsewhere.

What size swaybar have you got now?

22mm is pretty standard, I like mine. I'll be swapping to a 24mm rear bar this summer.

Yeah 22mm rear swaybar feels good, just a tiny bit of understeer still present when pushing it to edge.
