I just got my first CRX and I'm lookin to stiffen up the chassis a bit. its already got progress springs(about a 2.0in. drop). Next are some KYB's, but I'm not sure what to do next. I dont want a roll cage or to do seam welding or anything major like that but maybe some custom strut tower bars? Anti-sway bars maybe? Any reccomendations are much appreciated!
BTW driving is: autocrossing, and 'spirited weekend drives'.

 

I don't know how much a strut tower bar will effect chassis stiffening. I'd sell you mine but it works great for hanging the motor while my tranny is out I say this because my co-driver convinced me that it wasn't doing too much (when he flexed it with his hands doh!) and we ran the last 4 races of the year without it. I noticed absolutely no difference in the car's handling. Now would it be a good thing for a car without any cage whatsoever? I don't know - maybe but I'd find other ways of improving the car's handling first with that money.

Best of luck.

 

buy a sparco sprint junior whatever bottom of the line seat, and weld some plates to your stock brackets. having a proper seat makes a world of difference in handling and being one with the car.

 

Get a lower rear sway bar if ya dont already have one. You will be suprised at the way your car handles for sure!

 

get an aftermarket front crossmember (jimfab.com). it will definitely reduce sloppyness when your launching.

front and rear lower sway bars (aftermarket, not the stock ****)

weld bars all across your car.
