Noob here modifying my first car, I am looking into getting a KTuner and a PRL Cobra cold air intake for the engine and I want to do some upgrades on suspension. I'll be honest, I dont really want to lower my car because I deal with bumpy/old roads with holes or recesses, and speed bumps, but I want to at least get some sharper turns, so is it just a strut bar? What is recommended?
Thanks for any help provided!

Strut bar, bigger rear sway, high performance tires.

Nope. Still sitting there. Bad discs in my back means I can't do it and haven't found an installer. :(

I get it but I guess not fully, my L5-S1 disc is compacted, been doing physical therapy for weeks, makes driving hurt sometimes which is a major bummer

So I'm probably going to get the tanabe strut tower bar, looking at sway bars, do I have to get performance tires if I get the strut and sway bars? (price is going up fast...wow) :confused:

I have si springs and swaybar installed. It's a cheap upgrade that helps the car in the corners. It doesn't help with the floaty feeling of the stock ride though. Better tires increased my confidence much more than the suspension upgrades. Would love to see some aftermarket damper options.

Just installed the Si rear sway bar and accord end links on mine today. I'm still running stock all season tires but could immediately tell the difference.
