My new suspension combo!
I'm near completion of my suspension mods and am VERY happy with the way the car handles now. It's very aggresive, but not too stiff where I can't drive it.
Mods are as follows:
Hayame Coil-over suspension, V2
Ingals rear camber kit
Neuspeed front upper strut bar (solid, black)
RSX-S rear sway bar, with Grey's custom endlinks
Eibach 26mm sway bar, with new Honda endlinks
Last mod left is a mugen rear upper strut bar, and a neuspeed rear lower tie bar.
The car is very predictable, and solid in the turns. I've never been more happy with a final result in a mod before. It's up to par with being boosted lol... But yeah, for my last 2 mods, any other suggestions? Or does that sound like good icing for the cake?
Thanks guys.

Well, the mugen rear bar takes some fabricating to fit, there's 2 bolts in the RSX that we don't have, you need to add them. Much easier to buy a Spoon or Cusco bar and bolt it right to the strut towers.
I guess I have to question why you swapped a 25.4mm sway bar for a 26mm, but maybe it does something I don't know about. Honestly, I would have put a 16mm on there from an 03.

Agreed. Unless you like it when the car keeps going straight when you turn the wheel....

Rep Power: 380 The bigger front bar is good for a street car.
Only recomendations I can make is that you should look at getting a 22 or bigger rear bar, but that really depends on your driving style, and what you do with the car. Other wise, if your happy with the car why change any thing.

Rep Power: 326 is it the wiggle when you it a big bump the wheel flips out for a brief sec then returns to normal?
I like they way the rear is. It's controllable steering, but with a mroe responsive tail than the stock EX bar. The front wasn't a major increase, but the bar is a little bit heavier. So even if it's close to stock diameter, maybe the denser material makes up for it? I like the war the car's riding right now, I just need to get the 3" exhaust pushed up and to the left a little bit. Other than that, I like it.
