Default Suspension Technique or Neuspeed Sway-bar and Bushings?

Anyone having experience with either one, please let me know what you all thought? I am looking to stiffen the chasis up a little, but am stuck between which company to use.

Any suggestion will help.

Thanks,

To give you some ideas-I am using the ST front/rear bars on my Civic HB and they do stiffen it up. The Prelude has the Neuspeed 25mm Rear bar-what a difference over stock that made. The CRX Si is using an ADDCO rear bar and like the Neuspeed-is a major change. Personally, I would recommend that you use the stock front bar and go with the ADDCO in the rear.
Bushings-glad you asked--ALL of my bars are mounted in poly bushings and the endlinks (Civic and CRX) are also poly. I would also recommend that you redo the trailing arms and LCA bushings. The old rubber should be pretty much used up by now and putting poly bushings in these locations alone will stiffen things up. I urge that you not use a "master set" of bushings unless this is a race only application and then you have to consider how the car rotates in tight corners. Rubber bushings up front and on the other parts will be fine. You might want to do the radius rods up front as they are a pain to get at (one less thing to think about).

Good luck

jc836 -

You just made my life a little harder then it was! hahaha. The only reason why I considered both ST and or Neuspeed, is because they both made a complete swaybar kit and also a complete bushing upgrade kit. I just got the CRX and some of the rear bushing seems to have given it's abilities. Instead of just replacing what I need, I was thinking to go all the way.

Thanks.
