Default suspension issues

I installed a suspension techniques rear lower sway bar. I had no control of the vehicle when switch lanes until, I went to nopi and they had me buy a front upper strut bar( neuspeed ) it helped alot, but I still don't have that stiff handleing Could it be that that Neuspeed upper strut bar isn't strong enough for the accord? I haven't installed the lower front swaybar because the accord comes with one already. Can someone shed some light here please?

the swaybar on the accord in the front isn't as big as the aftermarket one...put it on...and also, what exactly are you asking?

Have you torqued down the endlinks to correct specified specs? Install the front sway as well. You might want to go with a hyper flex master bushing kit from energy suspension. I'm getting it done today

I am using ebach 1.8 sportlines. With tokico shocks and struts. The car still bouces alittle. it isn't as stiff as my Audi tt. I want the steering wheel to be really stiff and tight. I did torque the rear to factory specs. I can feel the rear working when I take corners it does a great job, but the wheel itself doesn't feel tight as it should. I don't want to waste money on the front lower sway bar if it isn't going to help with that.

I would think polyurethang bushings from Energy suspension, if better cornering is what you want.
