    Default suspension Questions

    Are strut bars, strut bars?
    i mean, does a cheaper one do the same job as a more expensive one?

    Im looking for a rear strut and i found a fairly cheap one. Im wanting to work on the suspension alot so i can atleast have a great handling car, since its not really that fast.

    Im hopeing to get a Rear strut,Front Tie, and Front and rear sways for under $500. possible?

    They are sorta the same. Some are made of stronger metals and the way they are designed makes a tad difference. I dont remember honda parts too much, but i believe DC had a massive one that looks really sturdy. But on a street driven car like yours, unless your running coil overs, tons of extra suspension parts...you wont notice a difference.

    I would suggest against the front sway bar unless you're going with a smaller than oem one.

    some are stronger then others and hold a better stance than others while you take curves, but you need the front and back to notice anything. and at that its a small difference. get coilovers!

    Like ant said you wont notice a difference unless you have a really stiff setup and you track the car. if i was a honda guy id just get springs shoks and sway bars.
    I asked a girl if i could buy her a drink, she said I have a boyfriend, so I said, well i have a goldfish, she said what? I replied, oh I'm sorry I thought we were talking about shit that doesnt matter.

    Don't do front jordan. Front sway+strut induces understeer. Get the thickest rear sway u can find, then just a ebay or used dc rear strut bar. If you drive ur car hard frequently then ull notice them.
