Hey i did the CL-s sway bar but to get better handling with out lowing your car. You got to buy 205\65?\15 tires u'll get better handling on turns. stock tires are 195\65?\15.
I have a 4cyc if you have av6 then i think the size is 205\65\16 not sure but that 205 makes a differences and it makes your tires look less narrow. The wider the better.

what do you guys think are better for handling results: coilover or springs with about a 2 inch drop?

The car sticks much better during turns and a bit less body roll. The whole kit only cost $100cdn which is about 70us. The size is the same as neuspeed's rear bar. As for changing the front, i don't know if you'll feel that much of a difference since its already pretty thick, and how often are you going to feel oversteer in a fwd. There is still body roll during long on/off ramps but that can be changed with a good spring/shock combo.

TL-Type S sway bar = best mod for the money!
*My two cents*

Let me know if you find a front kit besides Ingall's. When they don't recommend installing on a car no lower than 1.25" they mean it, and the 2" drop on mine was a no go. Luckly I've got coils and just had to adjust them. Right now the car is at about 1.5" with the extra tightness of the new adjustable strut/shock things. As far as the rear, I love the Ingall's camber kit.

I think the coils and struts along with the 18" wheels have made a hugh differance from a stock Accord. I bought my car half modied, so I had to test drive a stock one at the dealer to see the differance for myself. :chuckles:
