does anyone know where i can find some info about suspension in general online also im going to do a 1.5 drop using KYB AGX shocks and anybrand coilovers i was wondering if doing front and rear strut bars front and rear lower tie bars and front and rear anti sway bars would be most benificial or if i should'nt do them all or what lemme know guys i dont know if any of this would be working against each other or anything.

 

well suspension is relative to what you plan on doing with the car........
sway bars:bigger rear only....... FWD cars come from the factory with understeer built in, a larger front bar will only increase understeer
strut bars: helps rotate weight transfer from side to side instead of flex of the chassis
suspension:this totally depends on what you want from the car
looks:cheaper setup where you don't really worry about spring rates or complex shock/strut setups
performance:generally more expensive setup where you need to consider spring rates the present set-up of the car and your driving style and the shocks and struts are usually fully adjustable and race valved for higher spring rates

lower tie bars I am not familiar with, but my setup with front strut bar and rear sway bar with a performance built suspension allows me to have one of the most fun track cars out there
I can get my car to do whatever I want it to and handles like a dream

 

what is your shock/strut/coilover setup?

 

Truechoice Stage II
Koni damper adjustable shocks and struts
Ground Control Coilovers with Eibach springs @ 300 lbs front and 350 lbs rear

 

Lower Tie bars are going to act just upper strut bars.

 

lower tie bars byself

front

back

 

Holy shmolly, I think we finally found someone that knows how to take pictures. Very informative. I learned something.

 

me too..... i am actually going to look into the lower rear
does it help your rotate more in the rear? reduce understeer?

 

What lower tie is that ?
Is that a ST sway bar ? Did you have problem installing it ?
I have a ST sway bar sitting in my room and haven't got change to install it yet.
I'm planning to install it myself. Can you give directions ?
Thanks

 

i have the ST sway bar on my 1994
the only real challenge is the hole to be drilled for the mounting bracket other than that it is pretty simple

 

yes man, it does with the upper rear and lower rear, stepping out the rear is no problem for me, i am about to do the front lower, and a larger rear sway bar is in order

 

do you have any rear sway bar installation picts ?
Thanks

your front tie bar is going to reduce the amount of oversteer

 

That sure doesn't look like an accord,.. If you look below the lower tie bar, the stock one is already there... Looks like prelude wheels on there..

 

Yeah, I was about to say, that sorta somewhat looks like my Civic, or an Integra, but everything looks a about 5% larger. That's gotta be a Prelude.

 

There is some kind of electrical connector on Accords right there in the middle too...

 

no its not an accord im asking question about suspension stuff that i do not have yet i wouldnt ask if it does any good after i put it on. i think that is a Teg since it was posted in teg forum
