Just a quick question--I've got a 2003 Civic DX Sedan, and I want to improve handling and highway speed stability. As far as I can tell from Honda specs and visual inspection, my DX has no anti-sway bars. I'd also like to lower it and stiffen up the springs, especially in the rear for more neutral handling.

Ideally, I'd get new springs or coilovers and f/r bars at the same time. Right now I can only get one or the other. Common sense tells me to go for the springs first and the bars later, but, hey, sense isn't too common with me.

What do ya'll think?

 

dont get coil overs unless you really like a bouncy ride.... i would get springs if you want some better handling with a little bit of a drop... My money would be on anti sway bars so you could get rid of body roll in the corners...

<---anti sway bars for my vote

 

Thanks for the insight. I was thinking that, too. Any recommendations on bar diameter or source? I'd like to buy off the shelf, not from the salvage yard, as the car is pretty new and I'd like to get at least 200K out of it.

 

its up to you..you can go e-bay style which iv heard you can really feel the difference and is dirt cheap for all 4, or you can go with something like dc and pay about 200 for 1, but sopposedly alot better
