New Accord Owner
I read through the basic Accord thread although I knew most of it already, what I'm really looking for is on suggestions on what would be the best spent money on my new project car.
I acquired a 1995 Accord EX with an auto tranny, it's got 180k on it although this is a second engine, no idea/documentation on when the new one went in (Sometime within then last 4 years). It already has a catback exhaust (some random shop), and some manner of air intake (I'm thinking ebay), as far as I can tell the rest is bone stock. I would prefer to keep the f22 engine rather than swap at this point maybe in another year or so.
The engine seems good and strong, but in the corners there's a lot of roll which I don't care for, seems like soft suspension, anyone have an opinion on the best way to fix that?
I need to stay emissions and street legal although I do plan on logging some track time. Any and all responses would be welcomed.

Koni Yellow Struts/Shocks
Eibach, H&R, or Progress Springs
change your bushings while your at it, maybe even to urethane.
Do some Tie Bars while you're at it... never hurts.
Also, you might want to change your Rim and Tire set-up..

Re: New Accord Owner (green98acc)
do not do anything before the track day.
it's perfectly fine to bring a stock(intake and ghetto muffles doesnt counts) car to track and by fine i mean alot of people do it.
have fun that day and you will noe for SURE what you like to modify.
i mean people bring in couple of sway bar on track day, jack up their car in between runs to swap in differetn sway bar to test it. Not to mention it's like 100 degree under the sun at june
eibach, sway bar, blah blah blah..anyone can tell you what you can put in but there's no telling how well they work together.
oh sidenote, eibach over h&r anyday, i tried them both and hated my h&r springs
