f&r sway + COILOVERS = bestest

its overkill for most, but nothing much can beat that

 

Understandable....

I just want to get this bastard installed asap...just laying there in mah garage seducing me. lul

 

Okay bucko...I'll give ya that on the coilovers....they are nice...and if I had that kind of change layin around I would probably be rolling on them.

 

:D

 

well you had me on that one...I was thinking of my setup not the coilovers I wish I had...lol....but I admit when I've overlooked something lol... I think if a person cant eat a slice of humble pie....they shouldnt be dishing it out either lol

 

yeah i cant afford coilovers either..lol imma just wait till i need to get new struts...

but what about this set up..

DME front and rear strut bar
progressive rear sway
integra c pillar bar
and H&R sport springs

ill be instailing all this week expect for the springs will that be stiff just as stiff???

 

i'd save my money and do the springs and progress sway. the rest you can do, but i'd put my money into something more useful like tires

 

i have tires already lol i got rims and tires

 

So yeah this was definitely worth the money. Back end is tight as hell.
Good write up. helped me out quite a bit.

 

I would think that a silicone based grease would be okay and not degrade the bushings. For some reason I thought I heard there was a lithium based grease for certain ones... but you might want to check with the manufacturer before you do it.

 

can u really feel that much of a difference?

 

sounds decent... you will notice a diff. up front with that tower brace...
I havent found a whole lot on the C-pillar brace... as far as how effective it is for the amount they cost. I think if I heard correctly that it attaches via the upper mounting points fro the rear seatbelts.
hell...I had even thought of installing a full 5-6pt cage until I saw the end result of a tC that had flipped 7 times on the highway and the roof didnt cave in one bit. So the factory frame is like it has its own built in roll cage... sweeeeet.....

 

with what exactly?

 

the difference between driving a stock one and a aftermarket one? being tighter?

 

^^ hatch... as far as aftermarket for front and rear sways, tower braces, lowering springs....yeah... it's a huge difference over stock... very worth the money for those mods. Mine handles like its on rails and very very little "roll" factor in cornering. If you drive a stock tC and then drive one that has its suspension modded like mine...its like night and day difference.

 

I didn't realize how small the tube was and just over looked it. But yeah shes all in and lubed up tight.....lulz..anyways

yeah its a great difference...im really wanting to get some dezod end links for the front now. but that will probably come way down the road.

 

Great write up. I just installed my Progress (stiffest setting) and even though I have read that the difference should be really noticeable, I was still shocked to feel it. The back end was nice and tight in corners and if you really yank the wheel the car actually feels like its almost oversteering a bit and just keeps sliding. Almost no roll.

Really excited. I think if you are going to mod just one thing on this car, this should be it.

Can't wait to get a suspension upgrade and some better tires.

 

good job

 

Rocking the Hotchkis F+R sways at tightest setting, TRD springs, DC Sports front tower brace, and 8.5" wide rims with pirelli's. Handles on rails. Front sway is a bear though. Took me about 2 hours to do with a lift and all the right tools.

 

i just saw an RSX with the progress rear and it had a cool little label thing on it why does'nt yours??
