OK, so I've been reading the posts and have added things to my car. RSX rear sway bar, rear neuspeed lower strut bar, polyurethane bushings in front sway bar and rear sway bar + Neuspeed front upper strut bar. Tires, wheels, but not springs/ or coilovers. I'm wondering if it is actaully worth putting anything more on (besides prings/ coilevers etc.)? Are more strut bars gonna make that much more of a difference, are they worth the $$?? Neuspeed X-brace, rear upper strut bar? If I do add any of these other bars, the chassis will have less flex, but will it be putting too much strain on the frame? When reading about other cars all fixed up, they tend to do sway bars, and 2 strut bars, front and rear and then of course drop it with something. So is it really worth doing anything else to the suspension (at least till I have enough dinero to drop it properly)??
Yeah it is...i'm getting the progross front/rear sways, i think they have better specs...they are the thickest ones so far (unless you go Mugen, which is hella expensive) - 27mm front and 22 mm rear, compared to the 26 mm front and 16 mm rear from eibach, or the 19mm rear rsx sway. Rsx one is cheaper than the progress, and if you DON"T have an EX, u'll have to spend more money to buy adapter kits. The neuspeed front strut bar is a good idea too, and get a cusco rear (if u have the cash). I think that's enuf for basics, the neuspeed x-brace i haven't heard much about, but those who purchased it and installed it are very satisfied with its performance. Personally, i'd get it all, neuspeed front strut, cusco rear strut bar, progress sways, neuspeed x-brace, and a set of TEIN flex coilovers when they come out. DROOOLZZZ!

he already has the rear sway bar. The thing is that your car is stock height. At stock height the bars help with flex and roll, but you will really see a difference when you lower. Because the center of gravity is different, the bars will work toward your advantage. i personally have got every bar you can get! Well not every bar, but front and rear struts, RSX rear sway and neuspeed x brace. what chocobo recommended is a very good setup for autox racing. that is what I would recommend also.

if your going for looks then youll just have to put up with it, if its for performance...... raise that thing up. You'll be better off.
thats what all those bars are for u nincompoop... strain on the chassis.... the bars are there to the strain is on them, and so forth, not on your chassis.... get this guy a bat so he can hit himself!!!!
