Default Budget suspension mods?

right now I have Skunk2 sleeves and koni reds and want to do some more stiffening. My budget is pretty tight right now so I need to find affordable mods that are worth their cost. New to Honda's, please advise. Thanks!

Ebay has 4 matching strut bars for like $48+ shipping. It doesnt get anymore budget than that. If you put all 4 on at the same time it would HAVE to stiffen up the car.

You could do upper strut bars (front and rear), ITR rear sway bar, Front underbrace, type r trunk brace, c pillar bar, polyurethene bushings, and new sway bar end links and tie rod ends probably wouldnt be a bad idea.

If youre budget, i'd suggest changing out your suspension bushings. They're about $5 - $30 depending on the bushing and you can do this all over time.

I'd recommend the Type-R rear sway bar but that upgrade will run you no less than $115.

Forget the suspension, go to driving school. It's the best bang for the buck out there.

Cheers,

My suspension is fine, I would just like to tighten it up. During the semester my budget drops so I wanted to see what was out their that was worth it I could do now. I dont mess around... Look at all the cars built by Phill here http://www.williamwestfall.com/gallery/cars
