I recently was driving and slid into a curb with my front driver's side....
the damage that resulted was a bent control arm, broken front sway bar, and i messed up my fender lining...
Now the time has come to replace those parts, so i was wondering what is the best way to go about this....

I also felt that this is time to also fix up my suspension... last fall i installed drop zone coilovers and ended up blowing my rear shocks...
So now i want to get new springs (and i am getting a set of used stock struts), rear sway bar, front sway bar, and the other parts that i listed above...

what would be the best setup?

I was considering:
-neuspeed sport, progress or h&r springs....
-OEM control arm (unless there is an aftermarket one)...
-Progress front sway bar
-Progress rear sway bar with the built in tie bar
-used stock struts... (i'm waiting for kyb, or tokico to come out before i replace the struts)
-rear upper strut bar (already have a front upper)

what would u suspension gurus recommend?

btw, i drive a 2002 LX Sedan

thanks

I think Neuspeed has rear control arms for the RSX, but I am not sure if they will fit. I am not sure if you are getting rear or front control arms. I would get OEM though.
that looks like a good setup. Why don't you wait for the H&R cup kit? That has integrated shocks. And get the spoon sports rear strut bar.

sorry... i need the front left control arm

the h&r cup kit will probably cost a mint... how much does the spoon sports rear strut go for?... and is it really worth getting a name brand strut bar over an ebay one?

H&R currently has the Cup kit priced at $929. Not bad for a matched Spring and Shock, with adjustible dampering and ride height. especially from such a reputible company as H&R. Im just getting tired of waiting for it to come out.

For a front control arm, go OEM. Untill some company comes out with High quality light weight control arms its really the only way. OR call up some junkyards and find one there. either way will work.


For strut bars, I prefer to go with a good well known company (Neuspeed, Spoon ect.). Try to find a bar that is Welded together, they tend to be stronger. Also, go with a tube type bar, they are stronger then flat metal.

thanks... also where is the best/cheapest place to get all the other parts?

Get your progress bars from ptuning.com and your spoon bar from importdevelopment.net. The spoon bar will run ya around $145, but i believe they are back ordered. The progress bars will cost ya around $300 for the set. I don't know if neuspeed makes a rear strut bar. From what I know they don't.

BTW, if you decide not to buy those Progress sway bars, then I've got a stock LX front sway bar that I could sell you... PM me if you're interested.
