Suspension Crazed...

[AccordTunr333]

So even though i haven't posted in god knows how long, i'm still alive and doing work on the 97 Accord 2DR. I took a break from the engine to get the suspension situation all worked out and this is what i've arrived at:

Wheels/Tires:

RacingHart Z5000 18"
Toyo Proxes T1-S (225/40/18)

Springs/Shocks:

H&R Race Springs (2.3" F, 2.0" R)
KYB AGX Adjustable Shocks
Ingalls Camber Correction Kit (F+R)

Lateral Stability:

Front Upper Strut Tower Bar
Rear Upper Strut Tower Bar
Rear Lower Tie Bar
Suspension Techniques Anti-Sway Bars (F+R)
Energy Suspension Polyurethane Bushings


I'm pretty much done with it for now (we all know how that goes) but i'm sure i'll be getting my long lost love (Koni Yellows) sometime here soon. Also the Nice light RO_JA Formula 5's will most likely be my next wheel, same size but they are way lighter than these RH's. Also I gotta get some H&R wheel spacers, just to push the wheels out enough so they become even with the pannels cause damn i hate that tucked look. Anyways just to let everyone know what the scoop has been for the past few months. My camera is broken as of now but about to be replaced so i'll post my pics when i get them up and going. Later Ya'll.

i know we talked about this before, but how much did the rear lower bar help compared to the front/rear uppers? mine is on the way. you also had some clearance issues right?

on a different note, i have 17" lt5, and they look really nice. light too. i would fit the wheel first, before you get spacers. depending on the offset, it will probably sit differently than the RH's

I heard a few things about the Suspension Techniques. I've heard that with Accords you only really need the rear sway bars. Did you notice a big difference when you installed them. I am thinkin about getting the rears, thats why I asked.

The order was i installed the strut bars in this order: Front upper, rear upper, then rear lower. I noticed it stiffen up at each stage. Then i installed the anti-sway bars on top of all that, and those straight up locked it down. My car barely moves in the turns, and it's probably mostly my stock seats flexing and my seatbelts letting me slide honestly. I can say that the sway bars definetly helped just as much if not more than all the strut bars. I would reccomend them. They are hella easy to install too. No drilling. i was suprised haha. Lemme know what ya'll are gonna do.
