Newbie Looking to upgrade handling/suspension - 6/5/2008 8:18:53 AM    winndogg34 Posts: 36 Joined: 3/18/2008 Status: offline 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.... _____________________________ 2004 LX Sedan 2.4L AT Injen RD Intake (CAI) Bosch Platinum LR Fusion Iridium Plugs Progress Technology 22mm Rear Sway Pioneer DEH-6400 Infinity 6.5''''''''''''''''s Rockford Fosgate Amp JL12W3V2 Grill-Tech grill LingLong 225/45/ZR17 Post #: 1

Rear aren''t worthless, they help get rid of Honda understeer. Next would obviously be stiffer springs and some strut bars. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008!

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). _____________________________ 2006 Scion TC (ZPI-18G pending) 2000 V6-AT (RIP 3G) Temp Search thanks to Finch13 (in reply to finch13) Post #: 3
