As most of you know the Accord isnt the best at high speeds around corners...
 
I am looking to get more stick to the road and less roll.  Feels like everytime i go around a corner everything wants to fly out the other side of the car.
 
Any tips to fix this?
 
I am considering sway bars...heard front bars make a nice difference  rear bars are worthless....
 
I just got new tires and rims, definatly made a nice difference in how the car sticks to the road... i wanna spend less than 200 and tighten things up a little.
 
Tires are LingLong 225/45/ZR17
 
thanks for any help....

For only $200 you''re best off getting a sway set. Rear aren''t worthless, they help get rid of Honda understeer. Next would obviously be stiffer springs and some strut bars.

$200 isn''t much of a budget .... if that''s all you can throw down, I''d say to go with a CL-S rear sway (20mm, I think they fit 7th gen .... not sure) and good tires.  If I were you, I''d look at ultra high performance all-seasons like Yokohama or Toyo.

If you add another zero to that budget, you can have some really nice handling.  My 2000 sedan V6 could hold a 0.9g turn (on par with an M3).
