Suspension

i got 03 accord 4 door, the suspension is suck, i prefer a sport sus,but i love everything else, any suggestion,

appreicated

thanks, by the way, which brand is the best for suspension? to improve handling

get tower strut bars on ebay, they will help your cornering by making your frame more rigid. They are cheap and really easy to install. Larger rims and tires will help your cornering as well. So will lowering your car, but be aware all of these will decrease ride comfort. You will feel more bumps along the way. (So make sure your cd player has skip protection)

i went a dealer, they said if you don't change the suspension, you won't feel anything even if you install sturt bar or sway bar, is that true?

again, what's the best brand for suspension...

thanks again

Thats bs. I put a tower strut bar in my 90 accord in the front, and put both the rear and front in my 3000gt, and have felt each one. It tightens up your frame and makes cornering at faster speeds possible. You might not feel a difference going straight, but that's not the point, they are there for better turning. Don't know about the best brands for honda suspension, the strut bar was as far as I went on my honda's suspension. As far as my GT, eibach, JIC, TEIN, and Intrax are pretty good brands to go with. Hope it helps, Geoff

what about swaybar, what is differents between, swaybar and sturt bar,
by the way , if i need to enhance handling, can i just change the spring or the whole kit, also if i only change the spring, what will i feel...

thanks, really apreciated

dont get those cheap shit strut tower from ebay. there cheap for a reason u no. cusco make good strut bars but i think they only make them for 5th gen accords. DC Sports is a very good company for suspension. there just starting to come out wit 7th gen accord parts, so u mite have to wait a while on them. it depends on how much u wanna spend though. it would be better for u just to get lowering springs b/c ur just starting out.

dont get those shit strut bars from e bay. there cheap for a reason u no. DC Sports are a good suspension company for honda. they just started makin parts for the 7th gen accord so ur gonna have to wait for them. if i were u id get lowering springs for the link i gave u. they got a pretty good selection. u'll save some money and still get quality parts.

you may want to see if the factory strut bar from the v6 coup fits the 4dr. It may not, but it a suggestion.

I told him 2 check ebay 4 a good reason...I got cusco strut bars off ebay for half the price...that's why I said so. 2ndly, a strut bar is just a piece of metal that is connecting the strut towers. If it does that, and is firm what's the difference. You're gonna tell me you can feel the difference between a 40dollar strut bar and a 300 dollar strut bar. The more expensive ones are just stronger steel and weigh more. But the other ones aren't gonna bend or anything, they work just fine. Definantly not shit.

So, back to your questions, if you lower your car an inch or 2, you will get a bumpier ride, but you will also lower your center of gravity on the car, which means better cornering and such. So it will improve your handling, but also lower your ground clearance and ride comfort.

As far as sway bars vs. strut bars:
sway bar tightens suspension up, strut bars tighten body and frame up.
Sway bar prevents bodyroll, gives you better cornering and less weight transfer, whereas the strut bar only helps in cornering.
I said get strut bars, only because your car wont already have them, but upgrading sway bars is a great idea as well. Some would even say you might want to do that first.
Strut bars are the easier of the 2 in installation. But research it more and decide what you want to do. It really is up to you and what your goals are. Are you just going for better handling on the street, or are you racing...

thanks for your input...
i love to conering,but i just don't know i should install strut bar or sway bar, the thing is i don't wanna do anything big to car, but it is really gonna help , if i just do it strut and sway, and what will feels like if i only install sway bar...what do you mean by reduce weight transfer?
if i wanna lower the car, should i just change the spring or the whole, kit.
what will happen if i only change the spring, and i just wanna lower maximan, 1 inch.

thanks again

You can just get the lowering springs, you don't need the whole kit. It is not like you have to do all of these, they are all just suggestions. You can do the strut bars or the sway bars without the other. It really is up to you and what you want. Is your goal to:
a) just have the lowered look
b) be able to take turns alot quicker
c) improve under/oversteer
d) make ride less bumpy

strut bars will do the least, but they are the cheapest and easiest to install.
Springs are great, they will lower your car and improve turning, but will also make the ride rougher and give you less ground clearance.
Sway bars are good improvements if you don't want to lower the car.
But all in all, the decision is up to you
and by reduce weight transfer,
I mean that they help with equal weight distribution. When taking a turn, car leans as the center of gravity is shifted. One spring extends, the other (cornering side)compresses. The sway bar helps equalize the springs, so that all the weight doesn't shift over to the one side, the flatter the car, the more rubber on the ground and the better the handling.
