You would have better results upgrading the sway bars first. That would tighten things up hella more since it moves and the strut bar doesn''t. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008! (in reply to winndogg34) Post #: 2

Do your research on sway bars too.  Opinions vary, but the understanding I have is to stiffen up the rear sway bar and leave the front stock, which will help make the handling more neutral.  You won''t need big fat sways at both ends unless you plan on building a track car. _____________________________ Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life 1998 Accord Coupe EX 4 cyl. / MT AEM CAI & Tru Power Pulleys DC Sports header (ceramic) Thermal cat-back Neuspeed strut bar ''''''''''''''''04 TL rear sway bar AMR Engineering coi (in reply to finch13) Post #: 3
