I'm Trying to decide between a front strut brace and lowering springs (about 1.5"). Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: My car is NOT as low as it appears in my sig. That was chopped. haha. My springs are stock.

 

front strut tower bar is not going to do much on its own. springs and a rear swaybar will help with cornering much more.

 

werd^ Or, if you're on a super tight budget. Get a full set of strut bars off ebay, I definitely noticed a difference when I did that

 

If you already have good tires and rims, I'd go with f&r strut braces, and then a beefier anti-swaybar setup. You would noticeably improve your cornering, while keeping your ride and ground clearance fairly similar to stock.

 

my vote too goes to a decent set of sway bars. they will improve your conering and handling feel more than anything except maybe really good tires.

 

front strut tower bars aren't gonna help you corner better. those help resist chassis flex up front.

a thicker rear sway bar is the answer. 22-23 mm for the rear will flatten your cornering out like a ****. but it will also induce oversteer, which is kinda scary for noob drivers.

 

I have Tenzo upper front and rear struts and they tightened things up a bit, but the suspension is going to make the biggest difference when I do it.

 

thanks guys. and yes i have toyo's wrapped on 17's. So my grip is good. I've been researching rear sway bars and they're suprisingly cheap. but thanks for the advice guys.

 

I havn't been able to find rear and front sways for under like $275. i wanna replace the front and rear sways and the rear andfront upper struts. I dont believe I have a stock strut brace in the back. 02 EX
