i have a 94 integra with tokiko illumina skocks and springs on it. i want to improve my suspension but i dont really know what i should do next besides a rear sway bar. does anyone have any suggestion? i was looking at strut bars and lower tie bars. i know teh rear sway bar helps a lot but do the strut bars and tie bars really do much?

I didn't notice that big of a difference with a rear lower tie bar but the front and rear strut bars made a world of difference, but my car didn't have swaybars when I installed them.

A rear sway bar will do a lot more than lower ties and upper strut bars. If you get cheap upper bars with hingded ends you basically have a part that does 50% of what it should. Rear lower ties should be used with a larger rear sway to help stiffen the weak frame up. Sway bars & "braces" don't do the same thing, strut and tie bars stiffen the chassis and sway bars stiffen the suspension during cornering. Upper tie bars are like icing on a cake.
