wow. That's all i've got to say. You know when I was planning my car, I was thinkin "Eh I'll do a little performance, nothing major, just the suspension and appearance" but now idk. I'm kinda feeling an urge to not bother with looks and just goin with performance. I'm getting excited just thinkin about getting coilovers and new tires. Just had to share that with somone

 

yea, suspension is a big factor, it has been the first mods to all the cars I've worked on. Do a front sway and a set of coilovers and you'll be styling.

 

The TRD sway has great bang for the buck appeal. You did set it on "race" right?

 

Nope. I wanted to try street first. I'll try race next time I get some free time to change the setting.

 

be sure to grease the heck out of that thing lol, or it'll sound like your cooking popcorn driving down the road lol

 

hahaha. ya throw it on race and you'll feel a huge difference.

 

Lube it like an 80 year old prostitue.



...sorry.

 

I got the Progress Rear Sway Bar, Eibach pro-kit springs, DC Sport Strut Bar...I just got some Hankook Ventus K104 tires that are a lil wider too than stock!...I eventually wanna get better struts, then better brakes etc..

 

By far the best bang for the buck mod for the tC is hands down a beefy rear swaybar.

After installing my injen CAI and minor suspension parts I've noticed my gas mileage shrink along with my tire treads...

 

Now I don't own a TC but I have to say my suspension mods are my favorite thus far! (sorry Hondata! )

I love every suspension mod I have. The larger rear sway was awesome of course. The A-spec rocks my world. I think the one thing that had the biggest effect is the tires though.

I think strut tower bars get overlooked. I mean, they won't help (or very very little) with steady state cornering. But I DEFINITELY, no doubt whatsoever felt a big difference by installing them. (front and rear) It REALLY sharpened the reflexes. Made the car just feel really quick in transition. Quick like a cat.

Suspension mods ROCK man. Happy for you!

no no no lube it like an 80 year old ethiopian prostitute......lol get it right fool

 

You're absolutely right about tires. You could have the best suspension setup possible but it won't mean a thing if you have crappy tires.

 

Not everyone can afford some nice shoes... So we gotta' make dues with the laces...

 

I did hotchkiss front and rear sway bars at the same time... plus springs and tires... I don't know how I drove it on stock for so long.

 

I have hotchkiss front and rear, Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilovers, and I could tell a huge difference when i switched from some horrible Nankang Tires to some kick A$$ Bfgoodrich Tires, and noticed a slight difference when i switched from my 25lb 18x8" axis decades to my 18lb O.Z. wheels
