    Looking for new suspension & strutbars/swaybars

    Hello all,

    Recently purchased 02 Civic Si (130k miles) as DD and loving it so much!!!
    But as you all do, started to looking for tuning parts...even though it's my DD...lol

    Don't wanna work on any exteriors except headlights (too yellowish stuffs are covered...need to restore it)
    But would like to work on suspensions and strutbars because all the corners i make, car feels lifted (not actually lifted but like to have more stable corners).

    Can you please recommend good suspensions and strutbars/swaybars?
    (For DD and weekend track maybe)
    I was looking at KW but not sure if it really holds value.
    (so started looking at HSD http://www.amazon.com/HSD-Performanc.../dp/B0090Q834U)



    Thanks!

    Welcome to EP3Hatch.

    What's your budget?

    Is handling more important to you than stance?

    As far as sway bars get a thicker rear sway bar with a subframe brace. Like progress.

    First of all, nothing will improve your handling more than some sticky summer tires so that should be the first thing that you invest in. HSD sounds good but not much information on them. If you have the money then why not? Be the guinea pig. A bigger rear sway bar would also be good, go with a 21mm 05-06 RSX-S rear sway or a cusco 25mm. Subframe brace is really not needed.

    I think with the aging chassis’s out there that a subframe brace wouldn't hurt. Plus it adds a little bling.
