Hi guys and gals,

I have a newbie question, maybe the veterans can help me out.:)

I want to improve the Handling on the EP. I currently have H&R sports springs, and camber kit installed.
Should my next mod be front & rear sway bars or front & rear strut bars? Also its the lower rear tie bar nesscessary?

Any suggestions/opinions would be great. Thanks:)

Strut bars do help handling somewhat by stiffening up the chassis. You'll get the biggest change from a nice rear sway bar such as Progress (of my list of mods to be done). I don't know how long you've had your srpings but I would save the cash for a decent set of shocks before I would do either.

i would highly recommend the ctr/rsx-r rear sway bar. you can pick it up for about 100.00 and well worth every drop. you can now point the car in any direction and the car just follows threw like a champ.

It's the CTR/RSX R rear sway bar the same?

I don't think so, CTR is like 22mm I think. RSX Type-S is like 19mm, I could be wrong. Get info mixed sometimes :(

RSX-S 19mm
RSX/Integra-R 22mm

If you get the rear Progress sway, then it comes with a tie bar/frame support. If you get the CTR/ITR 22mm rear sway, then getting any other tie bar would be a good idea.

Get sways before strut braces if your looking for a noticable diff in handling.
