I'm mildly upgrading the suspension of my 88 Integra. 17" rims, HP shocks, and a 1.5" drop. My question is what are the key points to brace on the suspension/chassis? Is there an effective combo of strut and sway bars that will get me the better cornering and weaving response I'm looking for?**

**Can you point me in the direction of where I can get the least expensive brand components mentioned in you response?

Thanks!

Ebay for the cheapest parts, but they're for looks not function. You get what you pay for when it comes to suspension.

Adding or upgrading to a larger rear sway with help tighen up the back, which creates a slight over steer condition, enlarging the front sway will neutralize the handling. Rear lower tie bars are a good thing to have with aftermarket rear sway bars. Front & rear upper strut braces won't hurt either. You want a solid mount bar, not hinged ends.

TIRES can make a huge difference.
