Hey,
I just put in my new springs and struts and the car rides perfect.
Since I am not sure that I am staying with my motor, I'm gonna
build as sick a suspension as I can. What would be the next step
the next upgrade (suspension-wise) that is a good buy for a buck
and will make a difference. Car is 1997 EX btw

 

Good tires.

What are you building your car for? Street use? Track? Drag? etc...

 

what kind of suspension did u install?

 

Light wheels. Decent brake pads.

 

I installed Tokico Illuminas and High Performance Springs 1.75" front and back.
My only gripe is that in the front its a 2 finger gap, and in the back its like a
.75 finger gap. I hope the front settles. If not, Might have to take drastic means
such as throwing in an h22.
Anyway I will be in the market for new wheels since all I have are 18s that i used
to have on my automatic (was a phase, dont ask). Any recommendations?

 

best bang for your buck is sway bars next. just my opinion

 

es suspension bushings, then swaybars

 

Are bushings like the bump stops?
Do they really make a difference?
Also, the swap bars come in front and back for my car?

 

bump0r

 

Camber kit if needed
Rear disc conv. if needed
Pads
Braces
Tie/sway bars
Most importantly is prolly lightweight wheels/tires

BTW by bushings he means all the bushings in your suspension not bump-stops, but this would be a last step IMO. Too much labor intensive for the slights improvements

 

The most affordable lightweight wheels are Kosai (Tire Rack only) and Rota.

 

yeah, you might as well get new wheels and tires...size depends on you along with color and style. but something wide enough also around 7 inches. nice tires help too, and are the most improving thing you can do on suspension in my opinion.

 

was my last post deleted?, cause I dont see it at all.

 

the es bushings made a huge difference. just put the hyperflex kit in along with trailing arms. sooo much nicer

 

sorry for the noobness what is the hyperflex kit with trailing arms?

 

complete bushings for better handling

 

any1 have a pic of what these bushings look like
and where in the car it is located?

 

Alot of road racers say you should not replace OEM bushings with urethane ones such as ES and Prothane. The reason is that the urethane does not act the way honda designed the suspension componets to move and rotate. If you search, you will find some info on this subject. Take it for what its worth.

 

Ok thanks for that, so on to sway bars,
What are some good companies i should go with,
i read around these forums all the times and i heard VERy
few people talking about companies of swap bars
so i need some input on this, thanks.

 

Comptech makes a nice peice that is a swabar/tiebar combo. Another good kit is the beaks kit that uses an Integra R 22 mm swayber. It is a complete kit with subframe reinforcments. http://beaksproducts.com/
