Looking for stiffer rear suspension

I have Eibach Pro-Kit and a Neuspeed front strut...Im looking to tighten up the rear around turns...Im thinking a lower tie bar, or an anti roll kit, rear strut? Any sugestions?

the lower tie bar and rear strut doesnt really do anything on our cars.

go with an rsx-s rear sway bar or if you really want to get tighter turns, get the rsx-r swaybar.

Woot!

If your still on the OEM dampers, getting rid of them for something good should be your #1 priority.

rsx-s rear sway bar should do it for you.

if you want a little more, get the progressive 22mm rear sway bar. I put that on and it made a pretty big difference.

if you get the rear strut get it used. $25 at the absolute most. theyt dont do much for our cars, but they do help a little bit.

If you still are looking for a sway bar I have taken my RSX type R off and will sell it to you for pretty cheap. Im just getting rid of my car soon so if your interested let me know. The beefier sway bar is def. a cheap fix to your rear stiffness woes.

^^ if u're using that, i would recommend some reinforcement with a lower tie bar. coz i've seen ppl with such thick sway bar break the part where the LCA connect to.

Don't quote me on the years, but that is the gist of it. RSX-R is 22mm

s**t dude if u want something cheap and easy, well i got a packedge of font/rear strut bars and a lower tie bar for like 100 bucks total off of ebay and i put it all on at ounce and it gave a big difference. U should do the same if ur low on money. And then get sway bars. I also have springs/shocks so the struts and such work well w/that set-up..next step for me is the sways
