Default Help Me W/ My Suspension Set Up!

I am thinking of keeping my accord for the run: (94 accord ex w/ 103k miles) and the first thing I feel I should work on is my suspension ( my front shocks are pretty much blown). This is what I had in mind. Would you suspension guru's please advise on what to do/change and what order I should do this in? Thanks:


1. H&R Sport Springs

2. Replace Tockico Blue shocks with either Bilstein HD or Tockico Adjustables

3. Replace DC front Strut Bar with Nuespeed Bar

4. Replace worn bushings with Energy Masters Polyurethane bushings ( how much does this cost?)

5. ST front and rear sway bars

6. REAR strut bar? (Brands?)

7. Lower Tie bar? (Brands?)

8. Camber kit?

9. Replace stock ex rims w/ Volk Te-37's (16's)- ( does the diameter of the rim/ weight have that much of a detrimental effect on speed? )

Thanks to all,

tokico illimiinas i think they are called the adjustable ones are good, also look into koni yellows which are the best... raelly depends on what type of performance you want and what kind of driving youll be doing and also how much money you have to spend. The rims are a good choice and it does make a difference in speed if your engine is trying to rotate 4 17" 20lb wheels plus tires or 4 16" 14 lbs wheels the volks are a good choice if you have the money to spend on them.

I agree. Should be a good setup. You could also go with Eibach Pro-kit springs.
