Retro-fitting parts?
I am having a real hard time finding good replace suspension parts for my cb7. for example the front lca's. What can I pull off other cars that would/could completely beef up my suspension? Could I put a 92 wagons giant front disk brakes on mine? Just things of this nature.
The top of this forum has a sticky with references to upgrading your brakes.
As far as beefing the suspension, why? Are you planning some serious sponsored track racing with the accord? You may want to consider another car for that.

No, I just want the best possible set up. If someone pulls up next to me i dont want to have to be afraid to drop the hammer. Im starting to build my accord i want the best one out there.
As far as I know, there are no upgraded control arm replacements for the accord. Now, I have never looked for beefier replacements. There are plenty of people here running 300+ HP on stock suspension parts with no issues. I may be the wrong person to ask about this because I don't plan on taking my Honda that far.

Thank you, I hit a curb new years eve and I am in the middle of changing the subframe brace. It has the steering gear on it and a million little power steering hoses. I have been looking since I have had my car because almost immediately after I bought it I had to replace upper control arms.
TheMuffinMan you are awesome.

If you racked the crap out of your car on the curb, you need to measure your frame. Well its a unibody but you need to measure it or have it taken to a shop to be measured if you don't know how. The reason is, I racked a curb in my accord and tried my best to save it. I bent the engine cradle, suspension fork, strut, and radius rod and front subframe. In addition to cracking a wheel I also tweaked the unibody and it was a waste of time and money to try and fix it.
But as far as beefing up control arms and such, its only as strong as the weakest link, meaning the engine cradle and subframes are the weak link. If you are replacing stuff find a good bb2 and yank the front subfrom off of it. Also install a solid urethane rear motor mount while you are there. Helps with take off.
