Could someone tell me what a good swaybar or strut bar set up might be for a 1996ex. any opinons?

 

suspension techniques only heard good things about it..

 

My friend has suspension technique front and rear sways on his '87 Accord (along with the susp. tech lowering springs too).... he loves 'em!

 

yep, ST make some good stuff.
250 for front and rear

where'd you find it for 250?

 

I have the rear ST sway bar and front upper Neuspeed strut bar. As well as Neuspeed Race springs and the Neuspeed/Koni Yellow struts.

The handling is undescribable (is it un- or in- ???)!

i was kinda thinking that, but oh well.

 

I have the neuspeed strut bar along with the s/t rear sway bar on. (I have the front too, but not on). I am also running on WS Coilovers ... I love the way my car handles, I am holding my own right now in auto-x with the susp. mods.

 

i use the ST rear bar with the stock front bar only hanging on

sway bar is the first mod I got and the one that made the biggest difference

 

One thing you guys might want to remember ...

On an LX the stock front sway bar is 22mm
While the EX, the front bar stock is 27mm

I was talking to someone on AIM, who has an LX with the rear sway bar only installed and oversteer is pretty significant .. so for those who have an LX I would opt to also get the front S/T bar or order an EX front sway bar.

 

97 LX
-- Matrix Front Strut Bar ($25 from ebay)
-- Matrix Rear Lower Tie Bar ($25 from ebay, seems worthless though)
-- Rear EX Swaybar Upgrade ($70 from junkyard, BITCH to install)
-- Suspension Techniques 2.5/2.0 lowering springs
-- stock shocks
-- 205/45/17 tires

Overall, I love my handling. The biggest difference was the rear sway bar from the EX. I know it's not as beafy as the S/T, but it still made a huge difference for me. The understeer and body role that was present before is almost gone competely. Maybe sometime when i have more money i'll upgrade shocks and maybe get an EX swaybar up front. My roomate drives a stock 2000 Type-R and he's impressed with my handling and grip.

I just have the rear, i want it to have just the right amount of oversteer.

I still have a few things to do for the suspension, but so far I'm very pleased.

 

Remember too that the stock front bar is hollow while suspension Techniques is solid.
