Which of these are the best?
I'm looking to get strut bars, sway bars, etc. to handle my new drop 2.5" What Do I need first? eg. F/R Upper Strut, F/R lower strut, sway bar, etc???? and regard to what brand I should go for. How about ebay stuff, are they strong enough or just bogus?
Here's are the links to where I can get them at Distributor prices (may be cheaper than the ebay ones) - those prices up there does not reflect the prices I'd get - so please do not take those prices into consideration.
Strut Tower Bar/Tie Bar
Sway bar

The lower tie bars for the rear do absolutely nothing and are a waste of money.
Upper strut bars are great as they lessen the lateral roll of the body and cause the struts to act as one unit (front struts flex the same or closer to the same andrear as well to each other)
Sway bars do some amazing thigs and really can tighten up the handling of a car in the corners...definitley worth the money but make sure if you get them you get one that is above factory spec in size or you can simply pick up the Type R sway bars which come with front and rear.
If you get a rear sway bar remember you will have to mount it as Accords do not have one from the factory (except Type-R and SiR models I believe).

Accord DX/LX's have to have holes drilled for an aftermarket (rear) sway bar. EX's came with one.
Best mod to suspension: Sway bars hands down. ST makes good shyt. I'll be getting a set this summer that's for sure.

Probably just a typo, but you mean rear strut right?
